In this video you will discover one of the most fundamental laws of nature, which can not only explain why cars move, but why virtually any macroscopic process evolves in a given direction. Although entropy is a super important concept, it is unfortunately often poorly understood, because it is frequently wrongly equated with disorder. In this video, I approach the topic from a statistical thermodynamics perspective, that makes it very easy the understand entropy and the second law of thermodynamics.\n
