The Information Entropy Podcast

Welcome back to The Information Entropy Podcast! This week we are continuing our exploration into the history of space travel and the Artemis 2 mission, with many 100% related tangents along the way (less battery talk this week)! Tom explores the history of getting the first people into space, we have an image of chimpanzees being the first to brave the frontier of space but what about the worms, ants, and dogs. Mitch provides updates on the SLS rocket system, Artemis mission updates, and some of the troubles that the mission has been having and how they are fixing them on the fly.

This week we start to trace the story of space travel from the first theoretical rockets to the massive machines sending humans back to the Moon today. Tom explores the physics of rockets leading up to the first satellite that was launched into space: Sputnik 1. Mitch focuses on the current Artemis 2 mission and the boys discuss the technological advancements that are likely to arise from a rejuvenation of space exploration.

Welcome back to The Information Entropy Podcast! In this episode we explore inflammation — the body’s essential response to injury and infection. We break down the stages of inflammation, the different morphological patterns it can take, and the distinction between acute and chronic inflammation. Along the way, we connect these processes to common diseases and conditions driven by inflammation, revealing how this fundamental biological response shapes health and disease.

Welcome back to The Information Entropy Podcast! This week, we explore the world of dinosaurs — what actually was a dinosaur and when did they live in relation to us anyway? We look at giant herbivores and apex predators, understanding how they shaped their ecosystem and how it shaped them in return. We look at fossils and follow the analysis process that allows us to infer their physiology and even behaviour

Welcome back to The Information Entropy Podcast! This week we start with Beavers and end up with Aristotle? Confused? You haven’t event listened yet! Following the release of Hoppers we start by exploring ecosystem management, dive into the science of animal communication, exploring how researchers decode animal vocalisations and even attempt to speak back. Finally, we ask a bigger question: what would it actually mean to copy our brains and implant them in another being? Human or Beaver!
