Episode notes

How do energy cycles influence the Goldilocks zone in the hunt for life supporting exoplanets? Kathy Seager says, when gravitational waves are detected with LIGO or the pulsar timing method, how do scientists gather information about the specifics and localization of the system that produced them? E.G. Jim Watson: How do we think our biology slash evolution would be different if the earth had significantly different frequency in its solar energy cycles?

Welcome to the October 2022 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!
