Episode notes

Open science is important and useful, but the ways in which it manifests itself are going to be different for different kinds of science. Chris Gunter says if we discovered a particle that violated the equivalence principle, how big of a disruption would that be to the core theory? Consider a scalar factor between the two, zero gravitational mass or negative gravitational mass. Can a particle such as this be modeled under GR? I think there's a couple things to say about this question.

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!
