It is incredible how you can explain complex topic in 20 minutes that everyone grab a basic concept of it. Love it. Keep it going.

About 5 years ago discoved this show. At 69 years old your show now sends me daily down that wonderful rabbit hole... the world wide web gushing with information. I feel like I finally rediscovered the wonder and excitement of a being alive! And ready and armed to discover the unknown with childlike wonder... Thank you all for making life an incredible adventure... again!

I just finished a college level course on thermodynamics. We spent a full day and several homework problems on a carnot heat engine, and it made no sense to me at all. Now it makes sense. Thank you.
@SteveMould
The thing about one photon from the sun turning into several spreading out in all directions answered a long standing question for me - how to explain the way the sun “powers” life on earth in terms of entropy. Thanks!
@SupratimBhowmick
I was a student of physics. Today at the age of 57 I understood what entropy actually means. Thank you.
@kpsiegel
I remember in my college statistical thermodynamics course the professor said we don't die, we just reach equilibrium.
@SamadarshiMaity
After doing 6 years of doing gradutate process thromodynamics and then a Ph.D. in Statistical Physics, I wish he made this video a bit earlier. This is one of the most beautiful ways of explaining entropy. And the visuals are simply breathtaking.
@TimeBucks
This has to be one of the best Veritasium episodes.

I really appreciate how the street segment of this isn't just shots of people who've been asked a complicated question and looking confused. It's been such a disease in mainly digital platform interviews for a long time. Pointless humiliation to make you feel like you've somehow legitimized what your video has to say by way of making people look stupid for not having intricate understanding of fields they don't study/work in. You're actually having an engaging discussion with them and matching their energy. It's stimulating and the insight is friendly. It's such a small part of the video yet is a powerful opening, pushing collective thinking and proper lighthearted discussion that stokes curiosity. Good on you.
@sharmavts111
"What the sun gives us, is a steady stream of low entropy", is the best example for entropy. Thank you for making science more approachable, Derek!

I'm 5 years experienced mechanical engineering teacher. And I teach on Engineering thermodynamics and heat transfer subject. When I explain 2nd law thermodynamics and entropy to students never could do clearly it. Now i know how to explain why always entropy tends to reach maximum. Thanks
@likevin145
Derek's ability to break down ideas of this level of complexity and explain them in a way that almost everyone can understand and appreciate is exactly what we need more in the world. It's education at it's finest. I applaud you.

PhD physicist and engineer here. This brought an incredibly enlightening perspective for me. I must say, the concept of entropy is not a simple one... Many physicist, also as mentioned in the video, battle to fully understand the concept. This brought it all together for me. I'm having a rough night just deeply thinking about entropy because the concept is far more elegant than i ever imagined it. Thank you for this insanely amazing work.
@emilydelano555
This has to be one of the best Veritasium episodes. I got goose bumps because of the beauty of the explanation. Science is so awe inspiring.
@GreatPiP
Thank you, Boltzmann and thank you, Veritasium!!! I'm reading the Bowley and Sanchez book on Statistical Mechanics right now, and I love how the authors built up to the concept of entropy. It's deeply disturbing to me that probability plays a role in nature, but as I keep hearing: "The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us." Great vid!
@Miguel-ng5wm
The value of your channel is immeasurable. Thanks for making such great educational videos. You return more value to humanity than what you take. You are an "digital entropy anomaly" thank you!
@francescosulli7575
I am a young physics student at the University of Trieste, Italy. This video made me emotional, thinking about concepts like this explained in this way makes me shiver. Truly congratulations, it's thanks to videos like these that people get passionate about physics
@jacobcannon1493
The effort to put this presentation together and for millions to view has used energy very effectively. Please spread out more heat like this over time.
@saipriyavk2372
Truly mind-blowing! ❤
