The Misunderstood Nature of Entropy

The video explores the concept of entropy, its historical development, and its fundamental role in physics. It discusses the second law of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and the relationship between microstates and macrostates. The video also examines how entropy defines the arrow of time and its implications for the universe's future.

What is the difference between order and low entropy?

How can external energy influence the entropy of a system?

Describe how statistical mechanics leads to the second law of thermodynamics.
