Euro-Michelli: We're basically 100% sure to the extent that you can be. This is a boson and it's doing Higgs-like things. It clearly seems to be coupling to other particles in the way that the Higgs boson is supposed to couple. That was not true in 2012. Do we know what would happen from an experimental setup or could this only come from a quantum theory of gravity? Tim Gianitos, I hope getting that right, Ginnizos says if we could isolate a group of particles from its environment that was large enough for us to measure its gravitational effect,. presumably we could observe how its wave function slash superposition is related

Welcome to the July 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.

We're experimenting with a new benefit for Patreon supporters: short video (or audio-only) reflections by me on the podcast that just happened. If you've been wondering whether to join up, this could be the time.
