1:38:43Now PlayingThe Biggest Ideas in the Universe is a series of videos where I talk informally about some of the fundamental concepts that help us understand our natural world. Exceedingly casual, not overly polished, and meant for absolutely everybody.
This is Idea #20, "Entropy and Information." The increase of entropy over time is responsible for the difference between past and future, and is thus in a very real sense the most important thing in the universe. We talk about how this works and what it has to do with the concept of information.
