Episode notes

i'm just a mathdeficient lay person, but it just seems to make sense. A smallest distance doesn't seem any different than discreet jumps in an electrons orbit or energy strings only vibrating in specified ways with nothing n between. The arguments for things like halography are robust enough that they should be true in any theory of quantum gravity. And this idea that you just put degrees of freedom at local positions in space is exactly not holographic. That's exactly not yo set up to be compatible with that fact about the gravitational universe. So maybe they just haven't gotten there yet.

Welcome to the June 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! We are inaugurating a slightly different publication schedule, in which these monthly AMA will take the place of one of the regular Monday episodes, rather than being in addition to all of them. A slight tweak that will hopefully make my obligations a little more manageable.

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!
