Reversing Entropy with Maxwell's Demon
The second law of thermodynamics - the law that entropy must, on average, increase - has been interpreted as the inevitability of the decay of structure. This is .... misleading. Structure can develop in one region even as the entropy of...

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...

How Quantum Entanglement Creates Entropy
Entropy is surely one of the most perplexing concepts in physics. It’s variously described as a measure of a system’s disorder - or as the amount of useful work that you can get from it - or as the information hidden by the system....

Second Law of Thermodynamics
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the second law of thermodynamics applies to reversible and irreversible processes. In a reversible process the net change in entropy is zero. In and irreversible process the entropy will always...

Entropy: Embrace the Chaos! Crash Course Chemistry
Life is chaos and the universe tends toward disorder. But why? If you think about it, there are only a few ways for things to be arranged in an organized manner, but there are nearly infinite other ways for those same things to be...

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...

Thermodynamics: Crash Course Physics
Have you ever heard of a Perpetual Motion Machine? More to the point, have you ever heard of why Perpetual Motion Machines are impossible? One of the reasons is because of the first law of thermodynamics! In this episode of Crash Course...

The Misunderstood Nature of Entropy
Entropy is surely one of the most intriguing and misunderstood concepts in all of physics. The entropy of the universe must always increase - so says the second law of thermodynamics. It's a law that seems emergent from deeper laws -...

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!

The Laws of Thermodynamics, Entropy, and Gibbs Free Energy
We've all heard of the Laws of Thermodynamics, but what are they really? What the heck is entropy and what does it mean for the fate of the universe? How does soap work?! So many questions answered in this clip! Enjoy!

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...

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...

The Third Law of Thermodynamics: Absolute Zero
Brr, it's so cold today! Could it get any colder? Is there a coldest possible temperature? Yes, there is! That seems strange, but now we know that temperature is just a measure of kinetic energy, so zero kinetic energy must mean zero...
