Hello everyone, welcome to the May 2022 Ask Me Anything edition of the Mindscape Podcast.

I'm your host Sean Carroll.

Things have been a little hectic around here at Mindscape World International headquarters.

Writing some science papers, giving some talks, preparing to move from Los Angeles to Baltimore,

which is a big deal.

And of course, working on the copy editing and proofreading for the book,

the biggest ideas in the universe, volume one, space time in motion.

It's supposed to be out in September.

A lot of copy editing, a lot of making sure the figures look right and stuff like that.

But anyway, it's all refreshingly normal kind of stuff.

So I'm not going to dwell on it, tell any stories, anything like that.

Let's just remind everyone that the AMAs, the Ask Me Anything episodes,

are brought to you by supporters on Patreon.

You can become such a supporter yourself by going to patreon.com slash Sean M. Carroll.

Patreon supporters pay for nice things like the transcripts for all the episodes

and they help with the sound quality a little bit in some ways.

And by being a Patreon supporter, you get ad-free versions of every podcast,

plus the ability to ask questions at these AMAs,

as well as the usual warm, fuzzy feeling for doing a nice thing

and being part of something bigger than ourselves.

That's it, let's go.
