Episode notes

Benjamin zand: We're so used to speaking in ordinary, pre relativistic language of taking space and time as separate things. As soon as you start thinking in space time terms from the start, most of these special relativity puzzles and paradoxes just evaporate. And it's just sort of like a little redundant and not new and fun for me to go over that. This is not nokora or reddit or something like that. i'm interested in doing here.

Welcome to the March 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
