The Most Misunderstood Concept in Physics


Timestamps:
00:02 - The Earth receives energy from the sun and radiates a portion of it back into space.
02:53 - Sadi Carnot studied heat engines to improve France's steam engine designs.
06:35 - Efficiency of heat engine depends on temperatures of hot and cold sides.
10:10 - Energy spreads out over time
13:52 - Heat naturally flows from hot to cold, but air conditioning is possible by increasing entropy elsewhere.
17:25 - Life on Earth thrives by converting low entropy from the sun into high entropy.
20:48 - Entropy in the universe has been increasing over time, with black holes accounting for most of it.
24:20 - The arrow of time leads to the heat death of the universe.
