Welcome to the March 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!
Also -- thanks to Patreon supporter Siddhartha, we now have a Google Doc that includes all of the AMA questions ever asked, and their answers. It will remain linked at the bottom of the right-hand sidebar of the podcast website. So now you can search for past questions and answers!

anyone else here after sean mentioned how this blew up in the most recent ama
Yay, new AMA... I love these, and listen to them over and over all the time.
UA-cam randomly loaded this a few days ago and I am hooked. I can't sleep well and am not a big fan of visual content. These AMA seasions are entertaining and informative, while playing long enough to relax.
My take:
I like your podcast bc I’m an avid learner for life and also bc your harmonious voice is just a bonus.
I don’t support YT channels bc I don’t feel is a safe place for my plastic. May someone can enlighten me how.
And last Professor Caroll TVM for taking the time and effort for sharing a life of knowledge with us.
You can follow his podcast through any podcast platform of your preference for a more convenient listening experience.
And he has a patrion, if you want to support the podcast that way.
For like a dolar a month you get to ask questions in these AMAs.
Even when you don't think you have a good answer for a question, the insight into your thought process and how you think about problems is very interesting and (I like to think) helps me learn how to think about things.
3 hour AMA video.. Sean is a professional high level professor and author and he s still doing this pod and AMA for us. THANK YOU!
I love your long format podcast! I listen to each of them repeatedly until you publish the new one.
Thanks Sean, as always an amazing conversation.
What if two entangled particles were sent billions of Light Years without ever interacting with another particle.
How would they know what branch of the wave function they are on, to interact with anything. How would anything on the other side of the universe know if they’re on the same branch?
You wouldn’t know. That’s sort of why entanglement can’t be used as a communication method, sadly.
it was trippy. I was sleeping and this video autoplayed. and Your speech was basically feeding the creation of my dream partially. It was like You were putting what You wanted into the A.I. randomizer and it was partially building the scenario that was playing out
Very good episode. Once again marsh is completely messed up this year here in Canada. Its supposed to be -10 C., but it will be 10 degree celcius for 2 weeks. Never experienced anything like that in my entire life. When I was young we had snowy Christmas every years, now its rare to have snow on Christmas.
You are the best.
Sean is at once utterly careful in his wording yet utterly not pedantic. It's thrilling!
I have been asking physicists the same question for more years than I care to remember, and have you to receive a consistent, or even clear, answer: "What is energy?"
It's no good telling me energy is a capacity to do work, since matter can't be made of a 'capacity'. For the same reason it can't merely be a calculating device (which response several physicists tried to palm me off with a few years ago).
No one seems to know...
Why not just look in an encyclopedia?
@@MagruderSpoots I have been looking in physics textbooks, encyclopaedias and books in my own area of expertise -- mathematics -- for more years than I care to remember, but no one seems to have a clear or consistent definition of energy. If you know of one, don't, be shy, please share it.
You are trolling though and not serious? It would be like me telling you to show me thoughts, define them, and being mad they aren't actually visible inside a head. So, I am assuming this is a joke.
Energy is an abstract thing like time or thoughts. It is a unit of measurement that we use to explain interaction with particles. It doesn't comprise them.
Pulls back rubberband and releases it. What is this witchcraft that is beyond our greatest math and science to explain?
@@jayx4996 Oh dear, another numpty who blames me for the fact that physicists can't tell us what energy is:
"You are trolling though and not serious? It would be like me telling you to show me thoughts, define them, and being mad they aren't actually visible inside a head. So, I am assuming this is a joke."
(1) No, I am dead serious.
(2) I deny thoughts are 'in the head', so I for one wouldn't ask such a stupid question.
"Energy is an abstract thing like time or thoughts."
So, everything is made of an abstraction, is it?
"It is a unit of measurement that we use to explain interaction with particles. It doesn't comprise them."
It's not a physical explanation if energy is an abstraction, and hence it has no place in physical theory. So, if energy is to has a role to play in physics it can't be an abstraction.
What I was saying is most physicists do not claim that everything is made of energy.
I am not saying none do. Some believe everything equates down to energy, but those are the specific ones you need to ask.
Always good. Thanks
i'm pretty sure oil is hydrophobic. as per everyday experience, oil and water repel each other. as molecules, they energetically favor being in the company of their own kind. as fluids, they favor minimizing the surface area of the interface between the two. so oil globs submerged in water favor a spherical shape. and oil spherules favor merging to form bigger spherules, because the resulting surface area is sub-additive. in a vessel an oil glob will especially favor merging with an oil layer where the sub-additivity is maximized. still, i'm at a loss as to how to explain all this from the viewpoint of maximizing entropy. halp?
There is no obligation for every process to act in a way that maximizes its entropy. Instead, it's better to think in terms of minimizing free energy. For example consider the Helmholtz free energy H which is equal to U - TS where U is potential energy, T is temperature, and S is entropy. Processes will act to minimize free energy by EITHER minimizing U (by minimizing, say, hydrophobic interactions with water) or by maximizing entropy S. But maximizing entropy S becomes more important for minimizing H as the temperature of the system, T, gets higher.
The result is that you have phase transitions as temperature increases, at low temperatures it's important to minimize U while at high temperatures it's important to maximize S. Hope that helps a bit
I always imagine the expansion of the universe is caused by extremely large black holes outside of our visibility and just pulling space like a table cloth being pulled at all sides by sumo wrestlers. Lol
I always envisioned it as if our universe initially fell into a blackhole. The speed of light is our acceleration inward. The expansion is the growth from feeding.
Anyway, both ideas that tie in blackholes.
The example of throwing a book into a Black Hole to represent information always confused me and it took forever to get past the distraction of trying to figure out what the definition of "information" was. Perhaps I was just in the donut hole of the target audience at the time. You are a great communicator and I enjoy your lectures.
I don't understand how the black hole event horizon gathers all that is internal to any item that falls inside. There would be no breakdown and analysis of what's inside an object that falls in, until it is totally broken apart at the singularity. Can someone explain how the person crossing over the event horizon and not noticing anything different has an exact copy of not just his mass and external image but all internal contents at that point?
I also never understood the white hole hypothesis. Wouldn't the black hole's mass evaporate quickly if matter/energy was ejected just as quickly out of a white hole it was connected to somewhere else?
1. "Black hole complementarity" is only a hypothesis, a speculation. It has been proposed as an attempt to resolve the black hole information loss problem with not much success.
It does not fit well both with quantum mechanics ( e.g. with the no cloning theorem) and with general Relativity and it has some absurd implications, like the infamous "firewall" issue.
Some physicists still believe it, but others don't.
2.White holes are very improbable to exist, as they're (a) at odds with the 2nd law of thermodynamics, (b) unstable when surrounded by matter and (c) there's no physically conceivable process that could have created them in our universe.
I love the way you tackled the question equating light waves as simply probability waves with the Everett response lol BAM!
I think your explanation on fusion bombs was off. We already use fusion bombs. MOST of our nuclear weapons are probably fusion bombs. But as the asker said, they use a smaller fission bomb to activate the fusion bomb. We don't have problems creating fusion bombs, we have problems with controlled fusion. I may have just misunderstood your answer.
Here's my question. As a net calculation, does life increase the speed of entropy within a closed system?
Interesting, my gut feeling since childhood, when I first learned about black holes, has been that black holes could grow. I didn't know this was discovered just now.
it wasn´t dicovered just now, it has been theoretically known for almost 100 years and obersavationally verified for almost 50. so i´m not sure what you´re talking about there
I’m with you on alot of these, I was corrected in 2004 about gravitational waves, that they hadn’t been discovered yet! I was like…. Are you sure?! Lol lo and behold 2013?
@@symmetrie_bruch I think what he most likely mean is that when he found out about Black hole he thought they could grow! now there's a difference between who knew about black hole and who didn't, like the people who proved they could grow they already had a knowledge about black hole they were studying it but this person didn't. When he first heard about it he must have thought about it like any other thing in the universe, hence a gut feeling not knowledge of actually what it is
And it's doesn't matter if people had already proved it because he was completely unrelated to the topic until he discovered and the thought that they could grow was his own discovery.
So funny that this episode went viral Sean. Hope it gets more people aware of you and this podcast because it's one of the most intellectually stimulating ones of them out there!
Thanks for sharing your perspective sir!
this is soooo good
Ultimately the questions is… how did energy act before the Higgs mechanism?! That will tell you if the universe started with a black hole or not.

Man i will love if you make time stamps in these "AskME" eps
Why so many dislikes?! 🤔
Sean got a little sloppy about anthropogenic climate change and the warm winter in Baltimore in the intro, and climate denyers went ballistic lol. He talks about it in the April AMA (and has a good laugh about it too) - he knows perfectly well that a warm winter is nothing more than a single data point and doesn't constitute proof (but the IPCC reports do).

I put the existence of God on the same level as the existence of Santa Clause. I don’t know any adult that will say that they are agnostic when they talk about the existence of Santa Clause.
unfortunately, the key distinction is vagueness. people tend to have an idea of a personal god, witth their own properties that they can "mold" to fit their worldviews. santa claus is too well defined

What if nothing is moving? There is on and off of different particles in space like a giant lake’s surface. Even we are part of it. The universe could be just the exitation of different fields. The perceived “movement” are just waves in the matter’s field.

In multiverse theory, is the branching faster than the speed of light?
The branching would be more fundamental than regular general relativity.
I ignore if the question even makes sense per se, but if it were to mean something, the possibility of it being faster than the speed of light wouldn't be as revolutionary.
what does that question even mean? are you imagining branches as tree branches that are made of matter and move through space?

OK. Now what? 😬
It would be quite arbitrary, subjective, and obviously with a huge recency bias to claim that today's world climate is optimal--superior to all others historical or possible--and therefore must be preserved for all time at all cost.
But the problem is that it definitely isn't as bad as it could be. Droughts man, droughts. Food needs water to grow, and people need water to drink. There is only so much arable land, what happens if climate change cuts off rainfall to a large portion of that land? Wars have been fought for things much less important than fresh water.

In the interest of Patreon perks & no extra work, you can trim back what’s provided for free. I’ve never been on patreon, and consider it fair to get less. As much as I like AMAs, those could be restricted to Patreon supporters and everyone just gets the interviews. You’re only answering their questions anyway.
I think that's how things worked originally but the patrons voted to share the AMAs with the public. I could be misremembering though.

Why can no one on UA-cam give me the answer to my stick puzzle? If you push a short stick 1 inch in 1 second, how long would it take a very long stick to ring a bell on the moon. If the bell rings in less than 1.3 seconds, did we just break the speed of light?
The motion of you pushing the stick would actually travel at the speed of sound through the stick. So it would take quite a long time for the bell to ring
What if the stick was long enough to reach the moon?

... for our vote ... the black holes are not tied to space-time, because they are really 'not', and yet - they 'are' ... so, to the observer effect: they 'are' - a 'some', an 'entity'. To the natural mechanism of the workwheel, as it is - they are simply the natural reset points, that are necessary to keep the system in the balance. A free gift cleaning mechanism. Original pre-universe, as we all know, was just the pre-creation / the pre-forms to the today's basic elements / and pure: plasma, that was in the primordial, prefect balance. Similar to whilrlpools in the rivers, the black holes, and same as in bernouli's law, which basically states that every closed system will try (and make) to reset itself at the end, responding that way, to every disturbance. However it is a good start that science admits that the current workwheel system, a.k.a. the known 'universe' is a larger than a human mind can understand, in which - there is a (healthy) hope. As the whole 'system' evolves further into what is unavoidalble (and final) multi-complexity, and their expressions - mr. Sean here, is for once again correct here - it's a fantastic trip, with a lot of permissivity in it, which actually - may be the best thing around happening, and even the main reason 'because'. And also - that does not matter much 'what' the blackholes are, but it is a lot more important, what is the most neglected by the observers, and that is - what acually: we, the observers, and experiencers of the universe: are. We, as a one form, in which the universe becomes aware of itself and of it's current state, and everything else, right from - right there. :).
2:50:45 must be the worst question i ever heard on this podcast. it´s not even a question really it´s more an accusation. do you use fancy physics words just to impress people or buid social status? and what do you expect your audience to understand of your fancy science mumbo jumbo.
first or all aren´t you a patron? have you listened to this podcast before? that´s what´s so great about this, that not everything is dumbed down to the nth degree to the point of oversimplifying and beeing wrong. there are thousands science for babies podcasts out there, we don´t need another one. this science for grown ups is precious. and yes as you should be be able to tell if you´re a patron, sean relies on your curiousity, on the ability and impulse to look stuff up you don´t understand, rather than to turn off in disgust that somebody talks about stuff you don´t understand. it would be mind numbingly tedious to sit through the 100th explanation of something basic for the slowest kids in the class.

Again, I believe the big bang theory and Genesis and Darwins theory of evolution are all correct like in Genesis it says on the first day, let there be light ,now we know the earth at this point had not been formed, so how long is a day I think they use day for lack of a better word like eons or phases. It was much much longer than just 24 hours so now that being said. Darwin and Genesis are both correct.
And you can show the "first day" was longer then "24 hours"? A day on Earth? Jupiter?
What did Darwin have to do with Big Bang theory?
You're saying the gods lacked a better word? Odd, considering Genesis does use the word 'years'. So, it seems like they knew what years were at the time...

I’d like to mention that science and religion are likely to be the same providing your perspective is relative by understanding how things have been described like in Genesis It says on the first day let there be light now there was no day yet since the Earth had not been formed, so how long was a day in genesis I believe it was much much more than just 24 hours I think they should’ve used something like eons or phase and that being said, that Darwins theory of evolution is also right because both took a great amount of time
you are stretching the parable to fit what you observe
I would like to remind one that science and religion are not the same in explanation, perhaps you could say they are both yearnings for explanation

At least the earth becomes more habitable during the warmer interglacials. The land surface is already much greener than it was a few years ago. So at least we're heading in the right direction... Gaining an 1/8" yearly increase in ocean levels isn't really a problem
The problem is changing precipitation. Stronger, more frequent storms are bad, but the biggest problem that people just hand wave away is droughts. We already can't grow enough food to feed the world, and we're already running out of fresh water. Throw in some severe droughts, and suddenly food will double in price, and countries will start invading each other to get access to fresh water. Lake mead is already lower than it's ever been, and the droughts will only get worse.

Why not be more critical on actual main stream scientific theories? Hardly we see you being more than a science teacher, almost swearing on your own feet that current theories are the best explanations for the existing data. History shows us that most scientific theories are short-lived. The molecular mechanics of eukaryotic cells are too COMPLEX to be explained by a young universe 13.7 billion years old. Most galaxies (the tips of their arms) take about 1 billion years to complete one rotation. How did a structure as stupidly COMPLEX as the Milky Way make only 13 complete rotations?
I don't think you understand how science works. Science is LITERALLY an optimized, effective way of being critical and sceptical about current theories. At any given point, our best current theories are the best theories and models that we have come up with so far, where best means matches and predicts observation. And at any given point, scientists are working at invalidating current theories, either by finding observations that doesn't match the theory or by coming up with a theory that matches observations even better. Simple as that. There is no appeal to authority, no theories that are sacred. The most observation matching theory wins.
they are mainstream for a reason.
also, the first and second (suggestive) claims you make are not evidenced by anything.

Scientific theories fueled by economic interests.
@@Fernando.12.7.25 The molecular mechanics of eukaryotic cells is fueled by economic interests??
How can a guy be so nice, and intelligent and not understand that there is a God.
To answer your question, look up the video "Why God is Not A Good Theory" by Sean Carroll.
@@ahad2k11 I am familiar with the thought of Sean, for about a decade now, he is clearly wrong on the existence of God, some of his arguments have more weight than others, sadly he can't come to the realization, that God reveals himself to those who diligently seek him, trying to prove anything as to origins, without God as the first presupposition will forever be flawed, period.
@@ericday4505 "clearly wrong" is clearly just your opinion. Which is fine, just don't try to make it seem objective. In any case, the video still answers your question, which was all I was attempting
@@ahad2k11 You know, how does a seemingly intelligent person look you in the eye, and say that they don't have a soul, or that all they are is their physical body, then when presented with evidence to the contrary, like nde or people clearly telling someone that they have been attacked by demonic spirits and the like, only to have these experiences chalked up to those people being crazy, or just misguided. Can you imagine spending your entire life saying there is no afterlife, only to realize, " oh shit I made a terrible mistake" seconds after you die. Remember it is the fool who says there is no God.
@@sean3281 All anyone has to do is believe first, then it will be given, or shown, for lack of better term. And I get it that believers are not to get into screaming matches with, mockers .
Egomaniac
ok?
Imaginative BS
You mean of course "Best Shit".
What is yours BS, which I mean "Bull Shit"?
