Today's transmission explores the Simulation Hypothesis: the idea that you, me, Earth, the cosmos (everything) is just software running on someone else’s computer. Are we living in a vast, digital illusion crafted by an advanced civilization? Or are we just NPCs in a universe-sized Minecraft server, punching trees and asking deep questions? From pixelated physics and déjà vu bugs to quantum weirdness and Planck-length resolution caps, we’ll explore whether reality is real… or just really well...

08 - Aliens, Probability, and the Fermi Paradox: Are We Alone?
Why haven’t we found alien life yet? Let’s talk probabilities, paradoxes, telescopes, weird math, wild theories... and maybe even simulate a first contact. TOD’s Episode Obsession: Alien Etiquette This week, TOD is obsessed with interstellar diplomacy. He’s designed first-contact greeting cards in 72 galactic languages and keeps practicing bowing protocols for sentient slimes, hyper-intelligent fungi, and "species comprised entirely of empathetic starlight." Send TOD a transmission! (fan mai...
