Episode notes

The amount of dark energy per cubic centimeter is just a constant of nature. It's not affected by things around it, but it does affect things around it in some sense. There are two ways to ameliorate that bothersomeness. If this understanding is correct, would that make it a more fundamental arrow of time than entropy or is there some characteristic of entropy that is lost?

Welcome to the August 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!
