Welcome back to The Information Entropy Podcast! This week the boys finish their exploration of extinction, managing to stay much more on topic! The boys start by contemplating the Hantavirus outbreak in relation to previous circumstances before quickly recapping what classifies as extinction. They turn to the topic of conservation strategies and how they can help and how sometimes they might be misaligned. Mitch explores the leading causes of extinction while Tom reinforces the biological mechanisms at play within a declining population.

Welcome back to The Information Entropy Podcast! This week Tom is back and the boys are aiming to cover the topic of extinction! You will see that this is a meandering topic of cybersecurity, AI, extinction, and a section on Magic at the very end. While on topic, we find out what actually counts as extinction and how the IUCN defines and declares a species as extinct, we hear about the story of the last Thylacine, and going back in geological history we explore the big five mass extinction events.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming cybersecurity—but not always in the ways headlines suggest.

In this episode, we explore the concept of “Claude Mythos,” a purported frontier AI system linked to advanced vulnerability discovery, and unpack what it represents in the broader evolution of cyber defence and offense. From traditional scanning tools to agentic AI capable of iterative reasoning, we examine how these systems are reshaping the way vulnerabilities are found, understood, and potentially exploited.

Is this the beginning of autonomous cyber threats—or just the next step in smarter security tooling?

Listen now and decide for yourself.

In Part 3 of our Artemis series, we take a step back from the rockets and hardware to look at the bigger picture. This solo episode explores what the Artemis program really means, not just for space exploration, but for the future of humanity.

From building a sustainable presence on the Moon to laying the groundwork for missions to Mars, Artemis represents a fundamental shift from exploration to expansion. But why go back to the Moon at all, and what makes this time different from Apollo?

Follow the podcast for more deep dives into science, space, and the future, and share the episode if you are ready for humanity’s next giant leap.

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!

The deep ocean covers most of our planet, yet it remains one of Earth’s least explored environments. In this episode we descend through the layers of the ocean to understand the deep, and how life survives in a world without sunlight. We explore the nutrient cycles that power deep-sea ecosystems, from sinking organic matter to whale falls and hydrothermal vents, before looking at the extraordinary adaptations and mating strategies organisms use to survive in darkness and crushing pressure. The deep sea may feel alien — but it plays a fundamental role in the life of our planet.
