Hello Everyone! This is our second attempt to invite everyone to March's Ask Matt Anything Patreon Hangout and I think we have it all figured out. Featured at the AMA will be:

*Matt O'Dowd - host/writer of Space Time

*Graeme Gossel - long time Space Time writer

*Andrew Kornhber - producer/director of Space Time

For anyone in the Supernova, Solar Flare or Asteroid Impact levels: you will only be able to join the Zoom using the link listed above. So put it on your calendar if you want to come!

For anyone in Gamma Ray Burst, Hypernova, Quasar of Big Bang Levels please use the link from the Google Calendar invite sent to your email. It's the same as the link above, but it will sign you in properly if you're one of the panelists.

For those who haven't attended before, it's very similar to our channel livestreams, but a little more chill. You'll be able to ask our panelists anything via the zoom Q&A function and some of the other Patreon supporters may be on video as well.

If you can't attend, but have a burning question you want answered, leave it in the comments below and if we have some time we'll get to it! And I'll make sure to upload the livestream so you can watch/listen when you're able to.

The many worlds interpretation is intriguing when also taking the anthropic principle into account. If we assume it to be true, wouldn't that save theories which predict high probability vacuum decay? Sure, most branches would have all matter destroyed at the speed of light, but we could never experience it. So, let's say a strong quantum gravity theory predicts vacuum decay, could it be taken as evidence for the MWI, or at least necessitate a close relationship between the theories?

I am sad I cannot make this. I was going to make the original time before re-scheduled, but my $DAY_JOB has a meeting at this time I cannot move. 😞 I have a question, but I think it is good enough for a whole episode instead of a quick answer on zoom. In fact, I have asked this on a previous zoom: Why are we not a black hole? Specifically, at the time of the Big Bang, even after inflation, we had the entire mass of the universe well within its Schwarzschild radius. Why did it not collapse into a black hole? Does this mean it IS possible to escape a black hole? (Yes, I have seen the "Could The Universe Be Inside A Black Hole?" episode, but that is not really an answer. Plus even Dr. O'Dowd says it is unlikely we are.) On the call where I asked this, Dr. O'Dowd tried to explain to me that the expansion of space blah blah blah. I do not remember it well, and it was not as smooth & clear as a script. (The team does an AMAZING job of explaining complex things simply and clearly, which must take many hours of preparation, which obviously no one had for a live question on a short zoom.) So I would like a whole episode on that. You could even go into things like will current stellar mass or supermassive BHs go away before they evaporate from Hawking radiation if the universe expands enough? Thank you!
