Episode notes

In classical mechanics, the position of a single particles by a real number is an infin amount of information. But in quanta mechanics, because of branching, you can imagine that the initial state of the universe is very, very simple. Gillis 15 says he will not be teaching at the santa fe institute as nobody teaches there. He also has a chance to tour los alamos.

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!
