Summary

This week on Ask Science Mike, we covered these questions: What are quantum computers? What do you make of children who remember details from a “past life?” Is there a link between suicide and religiosity? Are the brains of trans people different in any way? Here are resources for people who want to dig deeper: What are quantum computers? How Google’s Quantum Computer Could Change the World How Does a Quantum Computer Work?
