Entropy (ft. Bodhi Houareau-Rose)

Curiosity Killed the Rat

Have you ever wondered why your room always gets messy, no matter how much you clean it? Why you can't un-break that priceless plate you accidentally dropped? Or if there is anything we can do as individuals to prevent the inevitable heat death of the universe? In this extra long episode, Kate and Matt are joined by Bodhi to talk about entropy, life, and ethics, and how they are all more closely related than you may think. Stick around to the end for our listener question, where we find out why some people cannot stand the taste of certain foods.Sources:A review of the entropy concept:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322836733_Research_in_entropy_wonterland_A_review_of_the_entropy_concept The Emperor's New Mind by Roger Penrosehttps://www.audible.com.au/pd/The-Emperors-New-Mind-Audiobook/1515943836 How to build a Dyson swarmhttps://youtu.be/pP44EPBMb8A How life hacks entropyhttps://youtu.be/a_BKQ_ZPImw Natural loopholes in entropyhttps://youtu.be/CfHysNgRy7c Life and Energyhttps://youtu.be/QImCld9YubEThe Great filters of advanced civilisations (the prerequisites)https://youtu.be/UjtOGPJ0URMIf you want to hear more from Bodhi, check out his online course, now live at:https://virtual.theangelsschool.com/courses/diversity-and-similarities/You can also find us on social media, with the handle @curiosityrat on Instagram and twitter, or our Facebook page Curiosity Killed the Rat.Listener Q Sources:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279408/https://www.nature.com/news/soapy-taste-of-coriander-linked-to-genetic-variants-1.11398https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3009759/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002929707618904
