2022/07/22

Welcome to the Information Entropy Podcast, this week Mitch and Tom finish their discussion on Simulation Theory! This week the boys kick off with some news about bad science and detecting diseases from our teardrops. Mitch explores the anthropic principle in relation to simulation theory and how, if true, we should be at the lowest simulated level. Meanwhile Tom talks about how to complete the simulation and assumptions that must be true IF we are in one. The boys round out the show debating how

Welcome to the Information Entropy Podcast where this week Mitch and Tom took time out to live report on the James Webb Space Telescope’s first ever images. No doubt you have seen them but the boys go through each one and explain just what makes it so amazing! When they get onto the topic at hand they take a deep dive into simulation theory! Are there any proofs that we live in a simulation? Electrons maybe? The Mandela Effect? Mitch takes us through some of the most astonishing things we

Welcome to the Information Entropy Podcast where this week the boys aimed to talk about senses in the animal kingdom and tangented so hard that the title is no longer appropriate! The boys kick off the show as normal with some news of the week and a quick gander into what senses are. Soon though the boys move from senses to how our brains perceive the world differently, firstly to other animals and even to each other. Synaesthesia, aphantasia, do we all think in the same speed, does that change how
