In our first ever episode of The Multiversity, the students dive into the depressing but scintillating topic of entropy. We begin by hashing out what entropy and energy even mean, before diving into a philosophical examination where we discuss:

  • A new explanation for the origin of life on earth
  • What entropy can tell us about our subjective experience of time
  • The relationship between entropy and beauty
  • What entropy can tell us about the meaning of life
  • How Eastern and Western philosophies approach entropy
  • What Isaac Asimov had to say about entropy
  • Whether or not entropy might be reversible.

You don’t want to miss the launch of our exciting new show: Multiversity, higher-dimensional education!
