Welcome to the May 2026 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!
Highlighted moments
the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is not about worlds. That's not the point of the interpretation. The point is that there is a quantum state, and that quantum state always obeys the Schrodinger equation.
