How do glaciers form?
Is the orbit of the Earth constant around the Sun? Or is there a variation on a large time frame? Could it explain the ice ages?
Have you ever studied aerial photos of ocean waves to assess their evolution for irreducibility/pockets of reducibility? Do you think ocean waves are computationally universal?
What are neutrinos for? Why do they exist if they don't interact with anything? Could aliens have a purpose for them?
Didn't some neutrinos cause hardware failure in airplanes?
If technology could produce a small practical neutrino emitter and detector, would it be useful to send messages with them?
Will holograms as seen in the Iron Man movie ever be available for widespread use?
Why do some foods, like peanuts and crustaceans, cause deadly allergic reactions in some people, while others can eat them daily without harm? How many species have allergies?
Do we know the mechanism behind this "training"?

In science, when is it preferable to self-publish rather than go through academic journals?
What place do you see for competitive behavior (especially in respect to the paper/citation system) in science?
What do you think would be a good replacement for peer review?
Have you ever considered working in finance instead of physics? Many very smart people work for trading companies (such as RenTech/Jane Street) for a couple years.
I sometimes think we waste some of our brightest minds on "making money."
Could we somehow "shift" the market demand for technology that highly favors intellectual advancement in ideas sufficiently so that these "analytically bright" people are interested in scientific progression?
How do you "decide" to direct your behavior when faced with aggression in tense meetings?
Is it possible for low-level employees to prove themselves by solving complex problems in an operation despite lacking the typical formal qualifications of education, but nevertheless being promoted?
One of the best docs for technical computing comes from Wolfram. Is there any general philosophy in Wolfram on balancing technical and business-oriented documentation that generates leads?
What advice would you have for someone who wants to pursue some academic field that's a bit unorthodox—like, say, your kind of physics—as a graduate student? What I've been told is to save that for when you become a tenured professor (if ever).
Is there a way to contribute to science without a college degree?
Humans were scientists for a long time before there were college degrees (let alone colleges).

What does the concept of the ruliad say about teleportation?
So are we experiencing a single state of the universe, or are we sampling different branches to build our experience?
If the speed of light emerges from propagation through discrete emes, then does the speed of light vary slightly? Could this be experimentally validated?
I've listened to live neurons in a lab, amplified and made audible—very strange experience.
It would be the ultimate biofeedback experience to visually see one's own neuronal activations spatially. Engineering that might be tricky for a while.
Would there be, in theory, a way to measure your relative position in rulial space?
How do new concepts get created and integrated in the mind of humanity? What makes them robust over 1,000+ years?

How was it determined that light travels at a constant speed in a vacuum?
Could you speak about the history of the hard sphere model in statistical mechanics? In many textbooks, it is mentioned rather briefly for something so fundamental.
How did the study of nonlinear dynamics come about? I'd imagine it would be a known thing after Newton's work.
How important are complex numbers in the history of science and tech? Would the current state be possible without them?
Solving equations of that form led negative and complex numbers to be taken more seriously, but people did not see the utility of these types of numbers. A lot of facts that are true about real numbers are also true about complex numbers. They're not necessary to solve many problems, but they're convenient for packaging.
Have you ever seen CA-like objects produced by a Jacquard loom?
Just curious on your thoughts on technological singularity.
