Nelita S. says quantum mechanics is the most mind-blowing physics discovery that she has lived through in her opinion. The idea that there was a completely different paradigm was mind-boggling and on the one hand it's to our great credit as human beings that we were able to shift gears toward it so quickly. Nelita S: I do not have much energy left over for listening to other science podcasts, but they should all reinforce our sense of optimism and wonderment.
Welcome to the March 2023 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!
