Strange World - Ep. 035 - Oct. 29th, 2023

Tonight we bring you a pandomonium of pulse-pumping preternatural delights as we wind towards the close of spooky season, starting the show with a discussion of simulation theory and the laws of information. Then we respond to the news that the coming solar maximum will arrive sooner and be stronger than earlier estimations, as well as the fact that for the first time ever, mouse embryos have been successfully grown in space! Then we read about how sperm breaks the laws of physics. After the break, we pause our reading series to get super spooky and Frobisher reads real encounter reports from the Phantoms and Monsters website.
