I bet Sean Carroll has this game ready for the next lock-down.

Entropy may not be what it used to be, but order can come back to where it once was. As above, so below. So it goes!

Brian Cox – “By saying that entropy always increases, the second law of thermodynamics is able to explain why time only runs in one direction.” hmm, or rather, that it only increases if you travel through time the way we do.

Law isn’t order – Anarchy isn’t chaos – Entropy isn’t disorder. Stop over-simplifying things. Check the entropy site if you want to get all heated up about it. How cool is this?

Me: when did entropy begin? Google/Wikipedia: In the 1850s.

History of entropy - Wikipedia
Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi

The concept of entropy developed in response to the observation that a certain amount of functional energy released from combustion reactions is always lost to dissipation or friction and is thus not transformed into useful work. Early heat-powered engines such as Thomas Savery’s (1698), the Newco... Read more
