Episode notes

If you have a black hole and there are quantum fields. The existence of particles outside the black hole grows with time, and the size of the black hole shrinks with time. This is exactly what is predicted by the theory of quantenfield theory in curved space time. Mat hickman: What do you think the odds are there's an extinction level event for humanity in the next 100 years? Do you think we're doing more or less enough to prevent such a thing,. or should we we be doing more?

Welcome to the March 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! 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!
