​What's the densest thing in the universe? I've heard that black holes don't count—why? The entire mass of the Earth at neutron star density would fit into a sphere of 305 m in diameter (the size of the Arecibo Telescope). What if black holes are like visible branchings in the multiway system? Consider the existence of white holes. So if there is "another universe" on the other side, that universe is causally... AFAIK, fractal-like patterns are the best method to receive signals, but we now have cellular automata—which can maybe do it even better? ​I lived in a 16th-floor apartment across from a field of transmission towers for an AM station. There were 5–6 radio towers, the closest about 200 yards away. So the AM station could be heard on lots of electronic devices in our house: telephones, answering machine, recording devices, etc. (The AM station towers were powerful.) Can it be that one day we will be able to see into Earth's past, finding an object in space that mirrors light left by Earth a long time ago? ​I can imagine future humans, having forgotten we sent such a signal on a long round-trip journey, receiving our message and jumping to all sorts of funny conclusions, depending on what we sent.

Would you agree that the way you succeed matters a lot in regards to whether you get to enjoy your success or not? How do you mold your environment to create good working habits? What's the best passive way to make money (stock trading, investing, etc.) and how stable is it? ​It's a matter of time. If you spend a lot of time on investments, you won't have time for research and other projects. Any thoughts on managing people's personalities on a project? What is your approach when exploring a new topic or learning a new technology, e.g. note taking, practice, recall? On the same note, I believe that a great team makes great products, not great individuals. Have you found this to be true in your products? View Less »

​Can you explain rasterization? Does the human visual system use a molecular-scale version of rasterization? When I close my eyes and apply pressure, why do I see colored dynamic geometric patterns? ​I also see the grid, and it's interesting how it fades when your normal vision fades back in, and the gray/black squares sometimes oscillate while maintaining the grid structure. Do you have any stories about Fresnel lenses? I just got the Meta Quest 2 VR headset and it uses them—the same kind that a rear-projection TV or a lighthouse uses, which is amusing. ​Considering visual perception discontinuous or discrete, can we consider it quantized? In that case, could it be calculated as "discrete packets of visual perception," based on quantum physics? View Less »
