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?

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...

The laws of thermodynamics are cornerstones of physics - but one of them is more breakable than it appears. Hosted by: Olivia Gordon

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!

The laws of thermodynamics are cornerstones of physics - but one of them is more breakable than it appears.

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...

The common interpretation of entropy is that it is a measure of disorder in the universe. The universe is on path to more and more disorder. And this is the reason time is thought to flow forward.Is entropy a...

What drives natural phenomena? Why does entropy only increase or stay the same. Why does a pencil on its tip fall to the table?

Things always tend towards their lowest energy state. Why is nature driven this...

In this video, we’re exploring the link between information and entropy, by examining a famous thought experiments by James Clerk Maxwell, called Maxwell's demon, which seems to show that entropy can be reversed. In...

SUMMARY

The second law of thermodynamics states that overall entropy of any isolated system can never decrease. Entropy is a measure of the disorder in a system (roughly). However, living things don’t seem to...

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...

While observing this simulation model of a car, you can virtually see entropy and the second law of thermodynamics with your own eyes. In this video you will discover one of the most fundamental laws of nature, which can not only explain...

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...

Alkene Addition versus Elimination: A Thermodynamic Approach

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 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...

Thermodynamic Reversibility

This video explains the elastic properties of rubber and how its molecular structure allows it to stretch and return to its original shape. It also discusses the role of entropy, as well as various treatments and processes to enhance its...
