Episode notes

Gravity is a very dumb, simple force in that way. With gravity, all you can do is create more of it or less of it by taking an object and move it further away. Some physicists feel that the construction of a new particle collider with higher power is not the best use of research dollars. Do you feel the same way, or could you justify this extreme financial burden for a new facility?

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!
