Episode notes

Pre-registration is an attempt to address the issue that when you do an experiment, you might get an all result. In mathematics, there have been some efforts where you do literally do the research in an open science kind of way. Something like that isn't nearly as practical for physics and theoretical physics.

Welcome to the May 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — 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!
