Episode notes

This chapter delves into the theoretical concept of wormholes, the importance and constraints of particle accelerators, and the relevance of fundamental particle physics in various contexts. The discussion covers quantum field theory, effective field theories, and the extrapolation of principles from small-scale experiments to comprehend larger systems, along with the possible consequences of deviating from these fundamental laws in different scientific fields.

Welcome to the July 2024 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!
