In this video, we explore the relationship between life and entropy, discussing how low entropy life can exist amidst increasing entropy as described by the second law of thermodynamics. We cover how ...

A college Philosophy professor wanted to teach his students the value of entropy. Entropy is a key part of the second law of thermodynamics. It is a measure of a system’s randomness, disorder, or ...

Entropy is something very peculiar. Let's remember that all physical quantities are conserved: In any closed system, energy is conserved, matter is conserved, momentum is conserved. That means that ...

Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...
