Have you ever wondered how complex things like life can arise in a universe that tends towards disorder (according to the second law of thermodynamics)? This is explored in the third video in the 5-part series with Sean Carroll about time and entropy.
NEW VIDEO Short Series/Collaboration
I'm making a series of videos about time & entropy with physicist Sean Carroll of Caltech, here's the first one!
