This week we kick off with the most recent PHP exploit: what it is, how it works, and why a piece of code most of the web quietly runs on keeps ending up in the news. Then we swing back to death itself. Does your life really flash before your eyes, or is it just a failing brain’s last party trick? What do we actually know about how death is perceived? And if we ever understand it well enough, could we put it off? We dig into the science of extending life, and whether “forever” is a bug or a feature. Science, comedy, and at least one existential crisis

Death is inevitable, but how much do we really understand about it?

This week on Information Entropy, we're diving back into the science, mysteries and unanswered questions surrounding death. From what happens when we die to the strange and fascinating science behind our final moments, there's still plenty left to explore.

Unfortunately, Tom is feeling a little under the weather, so this week it's a solo episode!

Join us for Part 2 as we continue exploring one of life's greatest mysteries.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode speaks openly and consistently about the topic of death, including medical procedures used to ascertain death in humans.

Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast! It is inevitable, woven into every human culture, leaves no person untouched, taboo for some and celebrated by others… This week, we discuss death. The boys start with a bit of a musical tangent (naturally) before exploring the different definitions of death and why determining the exact moment someone has died has become increasingly complicated. Modern medicine can maintain many of the body's functions even when the brain has suffered catastrophic and irreversible damage, forcing us to ask some surprisingly difficult questions about where life ends and death begins. Finally, the boys discuss their own relationships with death and how different life experiences can lead people to engage with the subject in completely different ways.
