Episode notes

In decider space, there are horizons around every location in space but they're not a horde and they don't go away. There is a thermal temperature associated with them much as with a black hole but it's a static state that can last forever unlike a black hole. Hawking radiation definitely does depend on the existence of horizons. Planets and stars, ordinary stars, do not have any Hawking radiation at all. It's not that they only have a little, they have zero.

Welcome to the December 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!

Remember that I take a holiday break at the end of the year, so the next AMA will be at the beginning of February.
