The Most Devastating Reality in Physics - It’s More Dangerous Than You Think

As you watch this video, entropy is all around you. Cells within your body are dying and degrading, the floor is getting dusty, the heat from your coffee is spreading out, weeds overtake gardens, and ancient ruins crumble. Zoom out a little, and businesses are failing, crimes and revolutions are occurring, and relationships are ending.

Zoom out a lot further, and we see the entire universe marching towards a collapse. The inevitable trend is that things become less organized. The pull of entropy is relentless. Everything decays. Disorder always wins.

A most fantastic video with some home truths rammed home. (i.e. I adore the scientific info, but also work for a failing business where I'm expected to keep my mouth shut, along with everyone else). Thank you. 😊❤

The reason why a shuffled pack of cards will likely never be able to shuffle into the perfect starting deck again is because there is 8x10^67 different combinations with 52 cards, or a 68 digit long number of possibilities.

Theoretically, with unlimited shuffling, one of the shuffles could result in the deck being back to it's original order.

The coffee gets cold the stars keep pumping out energy in unfathomable amounts.

I think why entropy is bound to always increase is because, in the process of creating order, we add to entropy, and the order itself carries a new form of potential entropy that never existed!!

I really love the clarification on the relationship between life's challenges and entropy!!! ❤❤❤

Entropy doesn't help explain why you can't move backward in time. It is essentially saying, since I think this rule applies to this, which is not proven, now you must apply it to this other unproven situation. It doesn't work. What does work is that in order to go back into time, you must prove that something somewhere in the universe is storing all of past time, or any amount of past time. Barring that, time itself doesn't exist let alone unlimited past versions of it. Right now, the only place time is stored is in or brains.

3:25 - No, that's wrong. Any order of the cards is just as likely as any other. Any particular order of the cards is extremely unlikely. However, it has to come out in some kind of (dis)order (unless, of course, you're playing 52 pickup).
In this case, order is just anything we designate it to be.

I've read recently that the universe overall is becoming more complex, not chaotic.

[NatureBoy-bh]

Using your card analogy, isn’t it neat to think that no- two decks of cards has ever been shuffled the same way? (1x10^52), with 10^50 approaching “never”.
Interesting 😎

[NatureBoy-bh]

What you must know is that the second law of thermodynamics is exactly that; it came second. Entropy came after creation. For those that understand these concepts that can be an awakening.

PEOPLE WHO FORGET HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT !!!

"Disorder always wins."
Not on my watch, sunshine.

[straighttalk]

once complete heat death occurs, and absolute zero kelvin is reached, every particle will become in sync, zero entropy and will then snap back to another big bang event.time never stops or starts

Hi! Thank you for this very cool video! Love the channel..Subbed

[rocketpack]

I remain fascinated by the fact that my fascination for transitions is far greater than my fascination for the individual patterns of a kaleidoscope.

[OramiIT]

Order to Chaos back to order it is unavoidable. I am unsure what iteration we are in currently, but I am sure there will be more; in which I will likely be equally unsure.

[marlonlacert]

3:30 <-- So Wrong! Seen this happen once! Where a Random deck got shuffled and looked like how a new deck is. Never seen it happen again! One of those once in a life time events.

[StanTheObserver-lorx]

We borrow order and pay later with decay.

[ndhandjoke]

Ok if Entropy is the end result of the Universe, how did it get so ordered to begin with. It takes energy to reverse Entropy, how does the Universe start off without entropy, where did all that ordered energy come from?

Now I know why my bedroom always looks like a mess - Entropy.
