A very good skill for the viewer is to be able to know the difference between those who make content solely for money and those who make content to enlighten others as it is their passion. Here, we know we have the latter.

In the past several minutes, I watched on another YT channel, a Sean Carroll dissertation on time. It was on Big Think (I think). I was so impressed that I subscribed to Sean's YT channel. The aforementioned YT episode was eye-opening with respect to my perception of time. Sean put it into a very tidy capsule of information which was easy to comprehend. As a layman, I find that desirable. I also have always been under the impression that Sean is a responsible scientist of high integrity, and that is becoming rarer and rarer in today's world.
Thank you for the podcast Sean. I believe you are doing the best you can with the set of abilities and resources you have to educate many people. I would not change anything. I’m going to miss the AMA for January ; have a happy holyday season.
2:39:41 I would agree. I was a high school dropout who went on to to take classes off and on at a local community college for years before I finally narrowed in on physics and managed to go to a good university to study physics at 29. I went to grad school for a year but dropped out to help out my family and myself as I was struggling with burnout from the extreme workload I put on myself due to a bit of imposter syndrome in undergrad, and now at 39 I am about to restart that PhD program, having gotten accepted back to the same school to start this January 2025. On the one hand I'm older than many professors and it seems as though I've wasted a lifetime that could have spent doing physics, on the other hand, I've lived a lifetime outside of physics doing things that no one doing a traditional physics track would ever have time to do, and I did them when I was of an age to truly experience them as opposed to doing them when I am retired and in my 70s and perhaps physically or mentally unable to experience them in the same way. I've lived a wonderful and full life and being able to go back now, to finish what I started a decade ago, is absolutely fantastic. No one really cares about your age as long as you are excited and motivated about what you do. Enthusiasm is universally infectious and is immune to the ravages of time and age
I definitely don’t understand everything you talk about but I’m so thankful for minds like yours. Thank you for taking the time to do these and for explaining complex concepts in a way that even I can follow sometimes.
The fact that Joe Rogan's podcast is so insanely popular, and that this one is in comparison hardly watched by anyone, is a testament to the stupidity of humanity. Please keep doing what you do. I'm certain podcasts like this will stand the test of time far better than the cultural fast food so many people consume today.
in the three part question about black holes you posited that someone falling in might feel the effects of gravity before seeing them, however I don't believe that's correct. The signal from your feet to your brain cannot reach your brain faster than the speed of light, and so you should both feel and see it at the same time. Like if I reach out and touch something at my desk right now, although there is a slight nearly inconsequential delay of the light from my finger reaching my eyes, I will feel my finger touch it and see it at the same time at best, or feel it slightly after seeing it if the electrical signal in my body travels at slower than the speed of light. It would be impossible for it to reach my brain faster than the speed of light.
Your mix of teaching, research publishing, popular science publishing, lectures and podcasts covers the communication spectrum. No gaps as far as I can see, so carry on.
this 'real pattern' philosophical jargon is indistinguishable from bog standard metaphysical realism, the conjecture that reality exists exactly as it is; it is in some particular way, and the exact way reality exists is stance-independent. i'm not sure what's dennett's novel contribution beyond a snappy catchphrase that's more delicious to say than 'metaphysical realism'.
What developing integral sense of our conscience across ...personal moralisations, populational legalities, and professional ethics.... may come as our technological know how and technologically interconnecting advance ventures further into what we deem as ...true, truth, and more truthful.... coming forth and going forward.
There is no difference between statistically likelihood of "truth" in physics and in social organization . The greatest good for the greatest number is an achievable project the same way the planning and execution of a better tool or food the -better- is also consensual as the scientific statistical likelihood of "truth"
1:17:30 I would personally not ask other people for tattoo advice lmao. Personally though I like the gamma factor equation because its kind of the first hint at something weirder going on with relativity, but maybe schrodingers equation in the form you might see in a differential equations class, not with the bra and ket form. both are great :)
3:03: I'm trying to imagine what Sean Carroll rebranding to be a role model for young men would look like. I can only picture a looped video of Sean wearing sunglasses, smoking a cigar as a trap beat plays.
Trump!!! for the ...fun, sport and transcendence.... of it all without any integrally greater ...sense, science, and salience.... coming forth and going forward.

Leading by example ❤
Mindscape is definitely the podcast where i've learned most on the most diverse subjects.
Don't change a thing about it, it's great :)
I wish all alternative media sources had at least half as much integrity as you.

Sean Carroll, this podcast made me a poetic naturalist. Keep it up. 👏👏👏

Sean, as always, great content. Thank you and keep them coming.
Hey Sean, you are wonderfull. Thank you for sharing your thought. Please keep on make us better people and thinker.

You're already a role model. We get that for free, as it were. Thanks.

Jings, had me worried there for a moment Doc. Please don't change a thing about this cogent and rational oasis.

At the 27 min mark A bee describes to flys why honey tastes better than shit
Give me video please, I don’t but I can’t watch podcasts without video 😔
❤
I voted for Trump, also I love your podcast its amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 hours?? I'm not complaining. I'm all fkr it
Thank you Sean
3:55 hours. How does he cope? Thank you Sean once again for your open, honest, and educative AMA.

🍸👍
can you do timestamps?

Babe wake up December Christmas ama
... Sean Carol looks hardly grounded to classic science today ...
Thanks Universe for creating Sean Carrol out of the collapsing stars …
Blazed up and ready to go! 🥬🌬
