We’ll dive into questions like:
• Could quantum black holes hold clues to the universe’s past?
• Can causality survive the Big Bang?
• Is wonder still part of science?

I also texted a physicist friend, Spiros Michalakis (when I would get reception occasionally) about the passage and he agreed and asked me about the book. Thank you to @seanmcarroll.bsky.social for the podcast with @nafshordi.bsky.social which intrigued me enough to get the book.

Expect haunted horizons, ghostly fields, and cosmic echoes — a séance between theory and observation, reason and mystery.

Such a wonderful memory! Thanks @chanda.bsky.social for sharing. You were also my first PhD student, and I couldn’t be more proud 🥲
