Episode notes

If you are never adian, there are two branches of the wayye function. There's a spin up branch and a spin down, down branch. But they are not created equal. They do not get equal probability. And in that case, with overwhelming probability, i would measure it to be what the spin mostly was, mostly spin up. It's again, crucially important. I mean, i know i've said this many times,. but maybe i don't say it loud enough."

Welcome to the April 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!
