Professor Jim Al-Khalili Explains What Energy Really Is | Order And Disorder | Spark

The great 19th-century Austrian physicist, Ludwig Boltzmann was one of the most important proponents of the idea that all matter is made of atoms.
Today no one doubts this is true but in Boltzmann's day it was a controversial idea and many of his contemporaries disagreed with him. But Boltzmann used brilliant mathematical arguments to show that many aspects of the world we observe, like the behaviour of heat, can be explained if one accepts that atoms are real.

Hi Spark! I always liked documentaries with Jim Al-Khalili! But... I have a question for you! What do you think about that book which claims to have figured out what are and how work black holes. According to it those might be very brightly shining objects that become invisible exactly because of the laws of physics. Also, this book suggests a new idea for the origins of the Universe. According to it, it is eternal and uncreated and that is the only way it could be. The book describes the philosophy behind that. It it logical though. Also, the book describes tides in a completely different way. Yes, it still is because of the Moon, but in completely different way from what we think today. Among other things the book looks at failures of flat eart theory and hollow earth theory. It even addresses the question what is truth... Anyway, what do you think about those theories? The book is titled as "NEW THEORY OF WHERE THE UNIVERSE COMES FROM AND HOW IT WORKS". Also, the book claims to have figured out the true pattern of Magnetic field and how it works... Also, the questions about free will and Astrology are discussed in this book explaining why the latter should be taken as seriously as weather forecast and the free will is possible only within certain conditions. The most important of which is - we have to understand the reality around us... Its author uses a funny pen name - george warehouseman... Possibly to trigger some unstable PhD's... ha ha ha Also, the book addresses questions about what is good and bad, what is Truth and many, many others.

FINALLY! A clear and concise explanation of entropy! A concept I've been struggling to understand for quite some time. And it doesn't surprise me at all that the man who came up with the idea of entropy was suffering from severe depression. Actually, it explains exactly how he got to see it....

[@SMPKarma]

it paints a bleak picture, doesn't it? I encountered it during my chemistry studies - along with the physics (such as thermodynamics, and esp entropy as explained in this video), the biochemistry, which showed to me that we are nothing but chemicals reacting according to laws of physics, is difficult to deal with at first. The understanding that all that I (or you, or anyone) think, feel, do, want, hate, love, all of it is simply a chain of chemical reactions performed by complex structures composed of only a handful of different elementary particles, can be very depressing. Not even in a sad way, but more in an apathetic way. I kind of learned to ignore that aspect of reality over the years, but I would be lying if I said that it didn't affect the way I view life.

[@vroyuh1176]

Here's how my dad described entropy to me. A whirlpool high in the mountain stream fills up with rocks. The snow melts, the water rushes down causing the whirlpool to swirl. Grinding all the rock to fine sand. This sand is concentrated in a sandbar year after year and eventually lower levels are compact ed. Dirt clods out of that level are eventually ground into fine dust by heat, cold and rainwater. When this dust is dry it flies up in the upper atmosphere, where each Mote of dust has water crystalized around it forming ice which then falls back to earth and becomes rain.

While thermal energy tends to spread out by entropy, matter in the universe tends to clump together due to gravity which again creates heat.

I might have fundamentally misunderstood this perspective. I mean, from their dualism perspective (order/disorder), Isn't everything moving toward order? Isn't that what the rectangular collection of fast moving (hot) atoms on the table show? The rate at which atoms vibrate spreads out ... the more spread-out, the more the system as a whole moves toward stillness and "order"?

[@tepidtuna7450]

It takes energy to create order. A metal bar was extracted from randomly spread ores, purified, and shaped into the bar. The heated bar, as explained in the video, was heated with energy. Left alone this order of heat dissipates and radiates into the cold, less ordered surroundings until an energy balance is reach, i.e. body the bar and the surroundings are at the same energy state. The bar's heat order falls away. Also, over much longer time frames, the environment will pull it apart through corrosion and weathering until it returns to its dusty ore-like starting point.

Every video about new physics or astronomy gives me the history of science. I don't want a history lesson every single time gosh

[@ganeshjain88]

Gravity is the counter force to entropy. It compresses dust and gases floating in the universe into stars, thus bringing order to an isolated system and decreasing entropy of that system (area)

[@TaPharoah]

I thought it’s been said gravity isn’t a force though? 🤔

[@vritikasri]

@@TaPharoahTrue that. even entropy is not a force. Both entropy and gravity are a property of matter...any matter.

why do i prefer watching this instead of Netflix

[@chrissmith7259]

This is real flix

[@thequietknitter9107]

Ummm. . . better than Netflix because it's infinitely more entertaining to the mind than a whole bunch of poorly written, made up crap. Just. . you know. . IMHO

[@futurez12]

The question should be: Why do people prefer watching Netflix to this?

[@radonpq99]

Because you are a good human being, we are the people who define the world.

[@Jiggerj01830]

Had Netflix for a month and cancelled it yesterday.

[@OurAwesomeUniverse]

Dr. Khalil gave a subtle, fascinating insight at 40:30. The Boltzmann equation for entropy by itself implies the second law of thermodynamics.

[@thedouglasw.lippchannel5546]

I believe that the order of my TV/Online KZbin mentors has been: Carl Sagan (simply mesmerizing), Jim Al-Khalili, Brian Greene, the Closer to the Truth Series, and there are so many more. Thank you Professor Al-Khalili. Thanks to all.

30:30 "unable to think clearly" indicates ME/CFS and brain fog

[@ketchup5344]

The problem with Jim is he doesnt know how to not be fascinating-better surrender the full hour because you cant leave 'til he says goodbye at the end 👍

[@Didanihaaaa]

wonderful job. thanks

[@Bless-the-Name]

Jim is my favourite.

everything is energy, energy is not some "thing" out there...it is everything !

[@stephenhunter70]

And there is nothing but empty space between each of the particles (Electrons) that make up atoms and between each atom. 99% of everything is empty space

[@1littlelee]

@@stephenhunter70 yes and do photons have energy, nope they seem to defy the laws of physiccs

[@milanstevic8424]

@@stephenhunter70 well, one could observe that even that empty space is just a perfect equilibrium of "nothing worth showing". basically, the matter is the change in this equilibrium after some timeless and extraneous interaction disturbs the surface of the spacetime like a rock would disturb a calm lake. what we perceive as matter is nothing more than the angle of the oscillating surface of the emerging waves, practically sudden and complex anomalies in an otherwise smooth spacetime. an entropy is when the ripple amplitudes progressively calm with the increase of their curvature. @1littlelee no they don't. they seem to defy it, but no, photons do not travel at exactly 1c. nothing observable ever does.

[@ericgraham8150]

Okay, but what is energy? This is definitely a common thing to say, that a lot of people will just go along with without thinking too much further. In a way, it's kind of a generic thing to say, so what is energy then? (hint: energy is not everything, and the next episode is about it)

[@prdamico]

@@ericgraham8150 energy is everything, that's what it is, lol. No energy = nothing exists...

[@winston_vanderbilt_ll]

I was always suspecting that energy is a scam. Now finally someone says it. Thanks Jim.

[@winston_vanderbilt_ll]

@Southeastern777 - We are talking about energy here, not about energy consumption. Please stay on topic.

[@bernardusmuller1109]

We get it by going to disorder?? sounds like a scam to me

[@winston_vanderbilt_ll]

@vladimir putin is andrei panin jfk is jimmy carter "Energy" not "Earth" is the topic here.

@Allah is Satan(Saturn); Mahomet=Baphomet You forgot one thing: you're a hoax.

[@moniquehamerslag3379]

Super interesting and well explained. I love these presentations! One question though, not very important but I always wonder. Why do makers of scientific documentaries tend to choose such scary soundtracks?

[@daphne4983]

This is so dreamy, fantastic!

[@ENZEEVIDS]

and here i was thinking entropy was disorder to order seeing as how various concentrations of energy throughout a given area will disperse in to a smooth/even distribution of energy in that given area over time

[@philipmcdonagh1094]

The Story Of Adds With Professor Jim Al-Khalili

[@garyfilmer382]

Good science documentary! Love the way fusion power, the power of the stars, is at the forefront of our latest efforts to produce energy, it’s proving very challenging! In order to fuse hydrogen atoms to produce helium, a lot of energy has to be put in, but in order for it to work successfully, to be efficient physically, and economically, you have to put less energy in - than what you get out, that’s putting it in an extremely simple way! Nuclear fusion is the dream of the 21st Century, the dream solution for our energy needs.

[@chan400]

Simply awesome. How wonderful it would be if Prof Jim was my lecturer in uni.

[@michaelelbert5798]

Dude I f****** love his documentaries.

[@cybair9341]

The words "order" and "disorder" are a bad choice to express a transfer of motion at the atomic level. It would be better to say that heat motion of atoms is transferred into their surroundings until homogenization with the surroundings. The atomic structures themselves don't change; so their order remains the same. It is the quantity of motion that disperses into the environment.

[@garfieldthomas8118]

Lovely explanation

[@timsfun6653]

Well put. I have always had exactly the same opinion.

[@FranciscoAquino]

Brilliant explanation , congrats!

[@ton1911]

Well said. Order and disorder is a human construct.

[@adhammahmoud5574]

the motion itself is a disorder, the motion of atoms is a disorder, like gas molecules when they are in slow motion, they are cooler, when they gain more energy, they gain more speed, they become hotter... this is the flow from order to disorder

[@pascalguerandel2771]

Thank you I finally understand what entropy means!
