Episode notes

Leon bernstein says he has a vested interest in the theory of modified gravity over that of dark matter. Why? One is, it's just cooler,. There are things we don't understand about gravity. And if we could ind some way in which einstein's theory had to be modified, especially for cosmology, that would be tremendous. That would be incredibly helpful to us understanding gravity and more down to earth level.

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!
