The Information Entropy Podcast

Senses

This week on The Information Entropy podcast, join Tom and Mitch as they explore how we perceive the world through our senses! As per usual the boys get side-tracked by starting the show off with some news talking about some exciting space discoveries and how scientists are using human skin to make robots more likeable… yes really, this is where Skynet begins. Back on track though the boys explore what they hell senses are anyway and how they work to make sure that we can take in the correct information about the world around us… but the caveat is we are only taking in a small portion of available information and that information is altered by the brain… so is what we see and feel even the real world?

Cognitive Biases

Join Mitch and Tom this week as they explore the mind in terms of cognitive biases! Have you every wondered why you make the decisions that you do or why you think the way that you do? Then cognitive biases may be the reason why and understanding them helps us change! The boys explore what cognitive biases are, why they exist, and then choose a few specific ones to talk about in detail such as the misinformation effect and how that has affected the world.

Gravitational Time Dilation

Join Tom and Mitch this week as they round up their space themed episodes, talking about space travel to find out about the potential propulsion systems that we may use to get to other planets and how far we may expect to go in the future... will we ever visit that galaxy far far away? Mitch though hits us with the truth of gravitational time dilation! How might it affect space travel in the future? AND how does it affect us now? Music: EVA – 失望した

Issues with Space Travel

Join Mitch and Tom this as they discuss space travel! With new Mars and Lunar missions happening over the next few years and the James Webb Space Telescope coming online, space exploration might be about to enter a golden era... but what will that look like? What struggles may humanity face physically and mentally on long space flights? And how may we even get there? Join the boys to find out! Music: EVA – 失望した

Where are the Aliens?

Where are the aliens? The Fermi Paradox asks why in such a huge and old universe, we don't see any aliens! This time round though the boys  focus on "The Great Filter"!!! What is the big barrier that is so difficult for life to pass that means we don't see other life out there... or is something else at play here? Join them as they meander our way through this topic and come tell us what to cover next on our socials! Music: EVA – 失望した

Intro Show
