Entropy is one of the most important — and most misunderstood — ideas in physics.

In this video, we slowly trace the story of entropy from steam engines and the Industrial Revolution to Carnot, Clausius, Boltzmann, Planck, Einstein, Gibbs, and Shannon. Along the way, we explore why heat flows from hot to cold, why time seems to move in only one direction, how entropy connects to probability and information, and why living things can remain organized without breaking the second law of thermodynamics.

The journey eventually takes us into black holes, Hawking radiation, the holographic principle, the information paradox, and one of the biggest unanswered questions in physics: why did our universe begin in such an extraordinarily low-entropy state?

A calm, slow exploration of the idea quietly shaping everything from a cooling cup of coffee to the ultimate fate of the universe.
