Mindscape Ask Me Anything, Sean Carroll | February 2024

Each time I get a pop up for a Sean Carroll AMA it sparks joy .

Please don't apologize for a three hour + question and answer session! This whole podcast has been such a gift. Hopefully I'll be able to support it on Patreon soon.

AMA from Sean Carroll = 😊

Thanks again Sean, love the AMAs. I wouldnt be opposed to themed AMAs but honestly i enjoy the varied ones. It s fun to hear your thoughts on different topics. I think you should do what you prefer yourself. You re the one doing the work and i bet most people in your audience would tune in regardless to hear your thoughts on whatever topic.

I truly enjoy the playground of my mind when Sean comes over to play. Themed AMA? I want both. Being careful of what you wish for is maybe what I should be asking myself before giving this answer. For now, I will enjoy this episode endlessly, Gr8! Peace ☮💜

This was a monster of a lengthy AMA. I enjoyed everything, and especially that you responded to my question, which "conveniently" was answered at time 3:20:28 😀. I apologize for my misuse of the Hamiltonian/Hilbert space lingo. I'm just computer scientist with an amateur's curiosity into fundamental physics. I absolutely agree that the Big Bang is an interesting feature of our universe. My point was that a cat may have a very pointy tail as a feature, without that feature being a very good explanation of the cat. I admittedly also have no idea what may plausibly be a good place to look for philosophical explanations or causes outside the domain where the concept of time has meaning. I'll be coming back for more

Sean "The AMA might be a little short" -- 3h24m runtime 😂

You're amazing....Thank you so much for taking your time and creating this for this commoner.

Hah, yes! I was just listening to the last one again, because i was getting impatient, haha. Great timing, looking forward to listening to this. Thanks!

So comforted by Bell's theorem, because without that foundation, we would be all over the place. Thanks for keeping that anchor in your discussions.

The only time you need finely tuned physics is if god doesn't exist. Sean stated this, after a number of other very well thought statements and thus my mind has been opened even more. While I've been taking into account womens rights, this thought weaves into this fabric quite nicely. Gr8! Peace ☮💜

Thank you Sean for sharing your Mind. It’s a beautiful thing x

He is right on learning these subjects. They have open source, talk to other college students on your campus or visit a college library and find the material. It's readily available. Einstein himself would have an idea and would find the material and learn. Then asked his friends to bounce ideas off the subject matter.

"A priority question is a 'once per life you get to ask a question that I'm going to try my best to answer'" -- but aren't ALL of these questions that people ask that you are going to try your best to answer?

Thankyou for the podcast!

I learn so much about how to think when I listen to Mindscape AMAs, thank you.

I LOVE SEAN CAROLS 1ST GREAT COURSES:DARK MATTER, DARK ENERGY:THE DARK SIDE OF THE UNIVERSE.

Favorite voice of reason in todays world of lunatics with huge platforms.

I've always been a fan of Sean Carroll, but this is my first time listening to one of his podcast episodes. He said this is a shorter AMA. Lol. Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do. I've been listening to his books on Spotify. Along with Brian Greene, this is my favorite way to reignite my curiosity for the cosmos.

Love the Ama's!
