Why does time seem to flow one way when most physical laws are time-symmetric? This video examines entropy, information, and ...
People in the future must be living more convenient lives than we do.AI might find answers, machines might do the work, and ...

Entropy in an expanding universe / Steven Frautschi -- Growth of order in the universe / David Layzer -- Parity violation and the origin of biomolecular chirality / Dilip Kondepudi -- Kinetic theory ...
According to the second law of thermodynamics, the total entropy of a closed process can increase or stay the same, but never decrease. The second law guarantees, for example, that an egg can wobble ...
A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...
A challenge in materials design is that in both natural and humanmade materials, volume sometimes decreases, or increases, with increasing temperature. While there are mechanical explanations for this ...
