Entropy Rising | Podcast Guru

Details

Entropy Rising is a science fiction podcast and futurism podcast that explores the real science behind the future of humanity. Hosted by Jacob Hyatt and Lucas, this sci-fi podcast breaks down topics like space exploration, Dyson swarms, interstellar travel, AI, and advanced civilizations using real engineering and physics. If you’re looking for a science fiction podcast that goes beyond stories and asks what’s actually possible, this show connects speculative ideas to real-world science. Each episode covers big questions like: Could we colonize Venus or Mars? What would a Dyson swarm actually look like? Are we alone in the universe? How would space warfare really work? Whether you’re into speculative fiction, engineering podcasts, or space exploration podcasts, Entropy Rising gives you grounded, no-BS explanations of the future. New episodes explore the intersection of science fiction, technology, and reality, built for listeners who want more than surface-level takes.

Wormholes: What Physics Says and Sci-Fi Imagine

Wormholes are one of the most fascinating ideas in theoretical physics, but how much of what we see in science fiction is actually possible? Support us on Pateron :https://www.patreon.com/c/EntropyRising In this episode of Entropy Rising, we take a deep dive into wormholes, from Einstein-Rosen bridges and general relativity to the biggest problems with keeping a wormhole open. We explore what physicists actually say about traversable wormholes, exotic matter, stability, and whether these sh...

The Future of Surveillance: How Far Will AI Go?

AI is making mass surveillance cheaper, faster, and far more powerful, but how far could it actually go? In this episode of Entropy Rising, we explore the future of surveillance technology and what it could mean for privacy. We discuss AI-powered cameras, facial recognition, surveillance capitalism, targeted advertising, predictive policing, AI judges, smart cars, and the growing amount of personal data collected by governments and corporations. We also look further into the future. What ha...

If We Have Spaceships, We’ll Have Space Pirates

Space piracy sounds like something straight out of science fiction, but if humanity builds a large economy beyond Earth, crime will almost certainly follow it. Ships will be carrying fuel, equipment, raw materials, valuable technology, and potentially enormous amounts of cargo between planets, moons, stations, and mining operations. So what would piracy actually look like when there are no oceans, no hidden coves, and every maneuver is governed by orbital mechanics? In this episode, we explor...

First Contact With Aliens Happens Tomorrow. What Do We Do?

What would actually happen if humanity made first contact with intelligent alien life, and would discovering an advanced extraterrestrial civilization unite us, divide us, or completely change our future? Support Entropy Rising on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/EntropyRising In this episode, Jacob and Lucas explore several very different first contact scenarios, starting with what may be the most realistic: detecting a technological civilization 50 or 100 light-years away. Even if commu...

Could Simulation Theory Solve the Fermi Paradox?

Simulation theory, the Fermi paradox, the Zoo Hypothesis, alien civilizations, digital consciousness, and Matrioshka brains all raise one strange possibility: what if advanced civilizations stop exploring space and choose simulated realities instead? Support us on Pateron: https://www.patreon.com/c/EntropyRising In this episode of Entropy Rising, we explore whether simulation theory could offer an explanation for the Fermi paradox and why we still haven’t found evidence of advanced extrater...
