Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast where today we are exploring Nothing! No, really… can nothing even exist? Tom takes a look at the philosophical underpinnings of exploring nothingness and the journey some of the most famous minds in history have taken in understanding it. Mitch then takes us into a vacuum to see if these are really places where “nothing” can exist as we would expect. Tom talks about atoms and whether they really are 99.9999% empty and Mitch explains it with Zero Point Energy. The boys end up the show rambling about equations and “nothing”. Music: HOME - AWAY

Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast where this week we taking a look at plants. It may seem crazy to ask, but what are plants and why are they so different to animals or fungi? Well, if you are curious then find out here! Tom looks at some crazy plant behaviours and then explains how plants will communicate to each other. Mitch on the other hand looks at ballistic seed dispersal and carnivorous plants. P.S. Tom’s audio is of potato quality because of technical difficulties and so we apologise if this is insufferable for anyone and understand if you skip this episode. Music: HOME - AWAY

Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast where this week are diving into the world of cognitive biases! Where do they come from and how does it impact our day to day lives? Mitch looks at the current TikTok banning as a springboard to assess the reactance bias, why are we reluctant to do things that we are told to do? He then dives into cognitive dissonance where we question performing actions that go against our morals but find ways to justify it. On the other side, Tom takes a question based approach looking at the study of heuristics and how we have to be careful of cognitive biases in science. Music: HOME - AWAY
