YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The 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 the Q&A video for Idea #23, " Criticality and Complexity." Two big themes here: the relationship between complexity and entropy, and the real-world technicalities of dealing with power-law distributions.
