2:47 If that collision happens in forward direction, some energy should be released. But if that same collision is played backwards (in time), as you showed in the video, then energy should be absorbed to “undo” that collision. Right? But that does not happen in real life. Even there we see that it’s not a reversible phenomenon. So, is entropy really emergent? Or is it inherent?

[@ScienceAsylum]

Between the _individual molecules,_ energy is certainly exchanged. In reverse, that energy is just exchanged the other direction. There's not room for "release." It's just two molecules. It's only on the normal-scale where we see irreversible processes. That's emergence.

[@VedanthB9]

[@felynecomrade]

I define entropy with a very general phrase "the spreading out". If something hits the ground, its momentum goes into underground vibrations that spread out. If you pee in a swimming pool, your pee won't stay where it is, it will spread out. If you light a baby on fire, the heat doesn't stay where it is, it spreads out. It has to. If heat didn't spread out, then things wouldn't feel hot or cold. Ice wouldn't melt. We could sleep naked on the South Pole and feel fine. To me, entropy just means "the spreading out". Whether it's matter or energy, they all spread out. Entropy is one of those ancient eternal badasses that rule the universe, and as far as I know, the only thing standing against it is another ancient eternal badass: gravity. These two are fighting, and either way, the winner will kill us all. Entropy will freeze us to death in motionless silent darkness, and gravity will crush us into dust and then crush the dust into smaller dust with black holes.

[@mace9930]

Theory: entropy is about the inflationary nature of space, entropy makes energy more "pneumatic" (inflated by space). Fundamentally, entropy is about separation. With separation, there comes a decline in usefulness in a focused manner. Low entropy energy has greater impact in a confined area when utilized. Since entropy is about separation, unification between entities decreases, atoms stop communicating as much as they did in closer quarters. Entropy also involves lower frequency. When energy is unified, frequency is higher due to interconnection and communication between energetic entities (such as atoms). Entropy breaks up unification (through natural processes) and this makes the overall frequency of the energy go down. The amount of energy remains the same for a given energy that undergoes entropy, but it attains a lower frequency status. The communication that was present before is a type of energy flow that arises when objects in close proximity interact on a continual basis. With low entropy, communication between entities is high, and this translates to high frequency. With high entropy, communication happens at a slow rate, and therefore frequency is low. In humans, low entropy status (youth) means that fluid memory capacity is high, while in the aged long term committed memories tend to dominate. Since the Universe is moving into a expansive state, and this corresponds with additional entropy, it should follow that the energy of the Universe is shifting into a lower frequency bandwidth, unless this tendency is counteracted by more interconnection between entities, whether at a distance (as with quantum entanglement) or in close proximity. In conclusion, high entropy equals separation and lack of communication. Unification equals low entropy. Connection itself is what determines the amount of entropy present. With connection comes lower entropy. If objects are in communication or not, that is what determines their entropy level. Disorder involves separation and lack of communication. Awareness (and thus consciousness) plays a pivotal part in entropy, because the mind can link together energy and information, or decide to ignore the connections and remain unattuned to them.

"It's 'disordered' because the universe itself has lost track of the energy's origins." I was still hopelessly confused up until the moment he said that. Now I think the concept of entropy has clicked for me. (So, it's like, once it's impossible to tell how or even that the Big Bang happened, the universe has reached maximum entropy?)

Pretty much. At that point, everything is random and nothing significant will be happening any more.

[@gijsvandinther]

Yep, heat death is entropy at its absolute logical maximum - when all the energy in the entire universe is used up and dissipated as heat and nothing interesting will ever happen again. Don't worry, though - it takes trillions upon trillions of years for this happen - for all extents and purposes, you could say that the universe will pretty much last forever.

@vincechittenden Evolution is a delusion and every argument against it, is a good one.

[@TheTypeWriters-kq4pb]

I tend to think there's a balance between creation and evolution that can be difficult for both scientists and theists to appreciate...but yeah, I think you might be on to something here. Complexity is the exact opposite of entropy, and yes, it's incredibly difficult to answer questions such as "What are the odds of the Earth having the right combinations of characteristics to support life?" or "How did complex living organisms first form?" from a strictly scientific perspective. In fact, really, organisms are constantly fighting entropy to maintain the integrity of their complex structures and prevent decay and death. Believe it or not, that's what metabolism really is, and it's a characteristic of all life on Earth. That's why all organisms need "food" in some form, although some can produce their own using the energy of sunlight. We humans are homeothermic (warm-blooded) and our cells are very leaky to ions (and costly to maintain). As a result, our bodies are constantly burning tons of energy (i.e., calories) to maintain our cell structures, even when we're sleeping!

If you asked him for any item; clothing, a book, or anything else he would immediately find it for you.Thus, what was said in the video about what is considered as 'disorder', I perfectly understand, not because I have an understnding of entropy,but simply because I grew up in a certain environment with a sibling who was quite at ease with an apparently messy room.

[@andrewvirtual]

Right? The explanation made me feel like I was on acid

[@panhandlejake6200]

Two things yet to cover: First - the speculation that entropy defines the arrow of time (easy to tell which replay of the mixing fluid is 'correct') Second - in thermodynamics we do try to quantify entropy. It takes energy to reduce entropy so there is a trade-off that must be considered for conservation of energy. Trying to carry his analogy further - it takes energy to organize a messy room (the room may still be messy but more organized) then entropy enters because over time the universe loses track of who expended the energy to organize the room - you or your mom.

[@RaphaelChan888]

So... if humans and other life forms form low entropy structures, and aside from occasional wars, humans tend to build and organise things, does that mean life itself is very low entropy and death is a high entropy state?

[@TheTypeWriters-kq4pb]

Yes, yes, yes! Life is a low entropy state that requires free energy to maintain - that's what metabolism is, and it's found in every organism on Earth. Organisms must constantly expend energy to maintain the complexity of their structures (Think ion gradients or cell damage, for instance). Death, by contrast, is a high entropy state, and organisms expend energy to oppose decay and death for as long as possible.

[@ShredEngineerPhD]

Damn, I lost it at "witness protection program" :D

[@professordeb]

My engineering thermodynamics prof described entropy as ‘uniformity’...in other words tending toward the lowest energy state. I don’t really ever hear it described that way by others, but it seems to make sense. In that understanding, entropy is really a driving force in the universe, doing useful work as energy moves from high organization to the uniformity of the lowest energy state. It’s oddly counterintuitive to say that entropy is increasing when going to a lower state, though.

so entropy is more like a relative property? like when stored energy location is a known value it has order, when that stored energy is less, less of the original known energy is known thus less "order?" so, say the starting point stored energy (order) in a closed system relative to the ending point stored energy (order) is the measure of entropy? So say, the measure of stored energy at T1 vs stored energy at T1+n is what entropy is?

My understanding is that molecules do have mesures of entropy. After all, they do "store" energy in their bonds. They don't really store energy in their bonds, they do the opposite.

[@TheTypeWriters-kq4pb]

Yeah - writing something out in your own words is a great way to test your knowledge and true understanding of it...and identify any possible gaps or possible confusion. It's something every schoolkid knows, and it really works!

[@zach_bot8210]

so entropy is a constantly climbing analogy for what has happened to matter of a certain size?

[@ScienceAsylum]

It's something that allows to predict what should happen when there's a whole bunch of particles in one place. Entropy is something we can calculate very well though if you use probability and statistics. I did a follow-up video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4LLp2aPnc59b5o

underrated channel :(

[@floydnasri]

Great video. Nice breakdown to a very difficult concept. Thank you!!

[@claragabbert-fh1uu]

Entropy complicates resolve because a System is: gossipy/(sensitive: susceptible). Discipline focuses design upon Resolve SO you do NOT have to talk about it, and can enjoy more snuggle time with your own System. Discipline begins by recognizing what is Relevantly significant to YOUR system. The tendency to make that unique to YOUR system modalizes design into unique but synergistic function or purpose.

Think about Entropy in relation to equilibrium. The food coloring example is the best one. Early on the particles are randomly, chaotically mixing, high entropy. Once the mixture settles into equilibrium, well mixed, low entropy. Does that make more sense? In other words, once a change in energy has been introduced, TIME will pass as entropy is lost...

Sir could I use some part of your video clip for educating students physics in Bangla language?

[@tarunmathew8601]

Great video dude. Keep it up!

Just FYI: the word "calorie" doesn't come from "caloric"; instead, they both have the same origin - the Latin word "calor", which means heat. And yes, I know the video is 5 years old.

[@ScienceAsylum]

Interesting! Thanks for the correction.

[@miguelsilva9118]

@@ScienceAsylum no worries! I really like your channel, keep up the excellent work.

Very low entropy in my room! Great video -Thank you !
