Carrol “seems” clever. Not sure he is right though – this playing the devil’s advocate for many-worlds is a bit of a cop-out. He could be researching things that can have some effect on the world. What would happen if all the great minds got paid for conjecture rather than results? Good video here, spot the pattern.
"Entropy: The Ultimate Thermodynamics Game" by Azhmodai It's the ultimate game and you're already playing, whether you want to or not! You can't win. You can't break even. You can't even quit the game.
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?
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
Penrose thinks that there is some real, physical “collapse” of a quantum superposition as objects grow big enough for gravity to become a significant part of the picture. Therefore: quantum mechanics might break down when confronted with gravity – when objects get big enough to “feel” significant gravitational force – so quantum mechanics needs modifying or reinterpreting.
Here is the Q and A Carroll published a few days later. Goes into more detail on some points. He is a great explainer – just what we need right now – especially in confused qm physics.
Great video, explains a lot and I didn’t realise it but yeah, conservation of momentum and energy are great ideas it would take a while to fully getting to grips with.

I would say they are collecting the rules OF the patterns. Here’s a simplification on how they do that…

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!
Want!
No such thing as a closed system. That’s a spherical cow, physicists milk due to their thirst for knowledge. Cheers!

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

Simply put
Genius. Penrose always explains things so well – why make it more confusing with many worlds when you can have just the 1 we know and love?
Khan Academy also cover it. So fundamental, its easy to miss completely before getting into more complex physical ideas
