2:39:41 I would agree. I was a high school dropout who went on to to take classes off and on at a local community college for years before I finally narrowed in on physics and managed to go to a good university to study physics at 29. I went to grad school for a year but dropped out to help out my family and myself as I was struggling with burnout from the extreme workload I put on myself due to a bit of imposter syndrome in undergrad, and now at 39 I am about to restart that PhD program, having gotten accepted back to the same school to start this January 2025. On the one hand I'm older than many professors and it seems as though I've wasted a lifetime that could have spent doing physics, on the other hand, I've lived a lifetime outside of physics doing things that no one doing a traditional physics track would ever have time to do, and I did them when I was of an age to truly experience them as opposed to doing them when I am retired and in my 70s and perhaps physically or mentally unable to experience them in the same way. I've lived a wonderful and full life and being able to go back now, to finish what I started a decade ago, is absolutely fantastic. No one really cares about your age as long as you are excited and motivated about what you do. Enthusiasm is universally infectious and is immune to the ravages of time and age

Mindscape is definitely the podcast where i've learned most on the most diverse subjects. Don't change a thing about it, it's great :)

We live in a postmodern society, where truths seem to matter less than perceptions. But objectives truths is what makes Mindscape more important than ever. Sean, please don't change the format!

In the past several minutes, I watched on another YT channel, a Sean Carroll dissertation on time. It was on Big Think (I think). I was so impressed that I subscribed to Sean's YT channel. The aforementioned YT episode was eye-opening with respect to my perception of time. Sean put it into a very tidy capsule of information which was easy to comprehend. As a layman, I find that desirable. I also have always been under the impression that Sean is a responsible scientist of high integrity, and that is becoming rarer and rarer in today's world.

Sean Carroll, this podcast made me a poetic naturalist. Keep it up. 👏👏👏
@stevenpope689
I definitely don’t understand everything you talk about but I’m so thankful for minds like yours. Thank you for taking the time to do these and for explaining complex concepts in a way that even I can follow sometimes.
