Entropy/lose the math, need laypersons def..
#16
RE: Entropy/lose the math, need laypersons def..
I like this brief vid on entropy.





I learnt that people associate entropy with disorder. Apparently that's not so true.

Basically things turn to a disordered state with time simply because there are more way of atoms combining in a disordered way than combining in an ordered way?
Not really rocket science when you think of it that way...
No God, No fear.
