From StarTalk Plus.
In this Cosmic Queries episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-host Chuck Nice explore what “information” means in physics, especially in the context of black holes and Hawking radiation, and how it relates to entropy and complexity. They also discuss everyday physics questions—like why clothes shrink in the dryer—highlighting how different materials respond uniquely to temperature and thermodynamic principles.
