    Jarring, loud ads in the middle of sentences frequently. At least let him finish his sentence.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Space DOES NOT Expand Everywhere
Q: What about the participatory universe concept; who or what initiates the first interaction?
The idea is that Wheeler's framework tries to avoid infinite regress by suggesting a self-excited circuit where the universe can be understood as one that causes itself, though this remains a philosophical interpretation rather than an experimental fact.
Space DOES NOT Expand Everywhere
Q: 747 tufa asks, how the heck do you weigh a subatomic particle?
The mass of particles like the W boson isn't measured directly; instead, we measure the masses and kinetic energies of its decay products and infer the mass from those observations.
