Where Does Complexity Come From? (Big Picture Ep. 3/5)
This video is about the difference between complexity and entropy, and how complex things like life can arise from disorder. Thanks to Google Making and Science for supporting this series, and to Sean Carroll for collaborating on it!...

Practice Problem: Calculating Free Energy Change
We know that the free energy change associated with a process will tell us whether it is spontaneous or not. And we also know that this depends on the change in enthalpy and the change in entropy for that process, as well as the...

Exploring the Elastic Properties of Rubber
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...

Entropy and the Arrow of Time
As we experience it, time flows in a single direction. But entropy, and its description in the second law of thermodynamics, is one of the few physical phenomena to imply an actual arrow of time. Day 16 of our advent calendar:...

What is the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
What is entropy? Why is it always increasing? And what does that even mean? Dr Valeska Ting explains the second law of thermodynamics. This is the day 12 of our 2016 advent calendar on thermodynamics. Watch all the films here:...

Crystal Structure and the Laws of Thermodynamics
Crystals bring order out of chaos. Does their formation violate the laws of thermodynamics? Materials chemist Dr Suze Kundu explores the relationship between crystals and entropy, with footage from the Ri Archives channel. Watch more...

Did the Big Bang Break the Laws of Thermodynamics? With Sean Carroll
Why did the Universe have such low entropy at the start? Are the laws of physics consistent across the multiverse? Can we see evidence of other regions of the multiverse? Sean Carroll discusses thermodynamics and the Universe. Subscribe...

Your Daily Equation #32: Entropy and the Arrow of Time
Episode 32 #YourDailyEquation: Einstein referred to entropy and the second law of thermodynamics as the only insights into the workings of the world that would never be overthrown. Join Brian Greene as he explores how these concepts...

The Impossibility of Perpetual Motion Machines
Bad ideas come and go in physics. But there’s one bit of nonsense that is perhaps more persistent than all others: the perpetual motion machine. No working perpetual motion machine has ever been experiment verified. All break the laws of...

Spontaneous Processes
In this video Paul Andersen discriminates between spontaneous (or thermodynamically favored) processes and those that are not spontaneous. A spontaneous process requires no external energy source. If the enthalpy change in a reaction is...

Gibbs Free Energy
Paul Andersen attempts to explain Gibbs Free Energy. He begins by using three spontaneous reactions to explain how a change in enthalpy, entropy and temperature can affect the free energy of a system. He then applies this concept to...

Life Requires Free Energy
Paul Andersen describes how free energy is used by organisms to grow, maintain order, and reproduce. A brief discussion of the first and second law of thermodynamics is also included. Disruptions in the amount of free energy can cause...

Boltzmann Brain Paradox Explained in Simple Words
A Boltzmann brain is not real, but what’s fascinating about it is that it thinks it’s real, and all the memories and experiences it has are real. But, of course, this brain is not real. But how would such a brain know that its memories...

Free Energy of Dissolution
We've learned a lot about solution chemistry, and we've also learned about thermodynamics and spontaneity. So what about the spontaneity associated with dissolution? If an ionic solid dissolves in water, is this an enthalpically or...

The Physics of Life (ft. It's Okay to be Smart & PBS Eons!)

Using Gibbs Free Energy
In this video Paul Andersen explains how you can use the Gibbs Free Energy equation to determine if a process is spontaneous or not spontaneous. If the _G is less than zero the process is spontaneous. If the _G is greater than zero the...
