Episode notes

A recent study suggests that dark matter is composed of very low mass bosonic particles, which can behave as a Bose-L Einstein condensate and take on quantum wave-like properties. This may be related to something known as fuzzy cold dark matter. The most popular candidate for what the dark matter is is the weakly interacting mass of particle, the wimp. There was a recent study I know it's being referred to. Sorry, let's back up. Samson asks a priority question. Recall that priority questions are granted to every Patreon supporter once per lifetime. You can ask a question and I will do my best to answer it.

Welcome to the July 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.

We're experimenting with a new benefit for Patreon supporters: short video (or audio-only) reflections by me on the podcast that just happened. If you've been wondering whether to join up, this could be the time.
