Episode notes

There might be no such thing as before the bang, says Mark cark. It's also completely possible there was a more or less quiescent universe that somehow bubbled off a universe like ours. Garry upshaw: Ancient astronomers and philosophers were inspired by patterns of movement of the sun, moon and planets across the heavens. Do you think humans would have advanced scientifically if they lived in a different kind of universe?

Welcome to the November 2021 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!
