#Veritasium #video about #entropy in #physics, explaining Carnot efficiency and thus the rudiments of #thermodynamics, but not explaining even the units of entropy; he chose to include stock footage clips instead of equations. But he does include a bargraph of how much entropy was in the early universe and how much is in stars, neutrinos, empty space, the CMB, and the Milky Way’s central black hole, so it’s still pretty informative.
