"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

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.
I read it, its good, though he has got better at telling stories of late. Highly recommended, he’s as hot as it gets for a physicist.
‘The Quantum Universe: Everything that can happen does happen’
Looks like Cox has pinched this phrase and murphy’s law for a publication, though it doesn’t get a great review here.
Brian Cox nails this one right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNfWKARlhEM
by saying some thing CAN happen, physical laws mean that it MUST happen, thats what a law is for.
