Entropy and the Arrow of Time (2016x59)

Data di messa in onda: Dic 16, 2016

As we experience it, time flows in a single direction. But entropy, and its description in the second law of thermody’’ view of it, as a dimension rather than linear path. We muse on one phenomenon that is intrinsically linked to directional time: entropy, and explore the link between the second law of thermodynamics and time itself. The 2016 advent calendar explores the four laws of thermodynamics with a new short film each day, with explosive demonstrations, unique animations, and even a musical number.
