Why We'll Never Build a Perfect Clock
We can make clocks that keep accurate time for millions of years. We can also make clocks with such high resolution they tick one billion billion times per second. So why can't we make a clock that does both?

Can Life Really Be Explained By Physics? (featuring Prof. Brian Cox)
I recently got to sit down with physicist and science communicator extraordinaire Prof. Brian Cox. Did we talk about black holes, the Big Bang, or alien worlds? Nope! We talked about biology. Specifically, what is “life” and how did it...

How Cells Hack Entropy to Live
One of the most fundamental ideas in physics is that the disorder of the universe, also known as entropy, is constantly increasing. But, life’s inherent chemical makeup has been hacking the disorder of the universe for billions of years!

Entropy
In this video Paul Andersen explains that entropy is simply the dispersion of matter or energy. He begins with a series of video that show the natural direction of processes. According to the second law of thermodynamics the entropy may...

Entropy : Why is it Predicted to Cause the Heat Death of the Universe?
Heat death of the universe, also called The Big Chill or Big Freeze, will happen when the entropy of the universe will be so high that everything and everyone that lives in it will perish. This will happen because an organism living in...

The Second Law of Thermodynamics: Heat Flow, Entropy, and Microstates
What the heck is entropy?! You've heard a dozen different explanations. Disorder, microstates, Carnot engines... so many different wordings and interpretations! Really, they are all related, so let's go through a few different...

Entropy Explained - Why Heat Only Flows From Hot to Cold
Entropy explained with simulations. Intuitively understand entropy. Why Heat only flows one direction. Physics lecture with simulations of the system. The reason is because of statistics and more specifically multiplicity. We will...
