Entropy and the Arrow of Time - Your Daily Equation Episode 32

Explore the concept of entropy and its relationship to the arrow of time in this 44-minute video from the World Science Festival. Delve into Einstein's perspective on the second law of thermodynamics and its significance in understanding the universe. Examine why events occur in a specific direction, such as glasses breaking but not un-breaking, and candles burning but not un-burning. Investigate the connection between entropy and the Big Bang, and discover how these concepts shape our understanding of past and future. Join Brian Greene for an accessible discussion that combines pivotal equations with engaging stories, offering a fresh perspective on the nature of time and the universe, even for those with limited mathematical background.
