Episode notes

Christopher matthews says, have you ever gotten into formula one racing with a huge roll of aero dynamics in it? I can't think of another sport where the study of physics plays a larger part. Alexandre zani says, it seems like we humans experience the universe in a particular basis,. moving in time, looking at things in three d, position, not frequency, et cetera. Do you think it's likely that there is a similarly interesting structure in other bases? My guess is no.

Welcome to the April 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!
