Episode notes

You get trained to understand things in such a way that you could do research on them. So i'm not going to be satisfied with, you know, words that sound like i understand it. I really need to understand it well enough to think that i could sort of use the ideas myself at a research level. The kinds of problems that i think are most interesting at this intersection are a questions where our physics knowledge needs clarification,. There's plenty of ideas like that in cosmology, in quana mechanics, and entropy and so forth.

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!
