Welcome to this very special episode of the Information Entropy Podcast: Episode 150! Today we take a bit more of a relaxed approach to the structure of the episode exploring a variety of topics that we find interesting such as new space telescopes and their discoveries as well as the influence that games are having and will have on our technology in the future. Thank you to each and every one of you who tunes in, whether for a few minutes or each and every week. Music: HOME – AWAY

In this episode of The Information Entropy Podcast, Tom explores one of the biggest mysteries in modern cosmology: the Hubble tension. Why do we get different answers while measuring the expansion rate of the universe? Is our standard model of the cosmos missing a crucial piece of the puzzle?

Join Tom as he journeys from the discovery of cosmic expansion and the Big Bang, through the ingredients of our universe, to the Nobel Prize-winning revelation that expansion is accelerating — and then into the heart of the tension that’s challenging our understanding of the cosmos. We’ll look at how scientists are tackling this problem, what it could mean for the ultimate fate of the universe, and why this is a moment of exciting discovery. Music: HOME - AWAY

In this episode of The Information Entropy Podcast, we explore the science of ageing—what it is, why it happens, and how it affects the body and brain over time. We dig into cellular damage, stem cell decline, and metabolic theories like the Rate of Living Hypothesis. Plus, we ask why animals like Greenland sharks live for centuries while others burn out in months, and why time seems to speed up as we get older. Packed with biology, big questions, and the usual chaotic commentary. Music: HOME – AWAY
