Entropy Henry Poincare named the conception of "entropy " as a " surprising abstract " Lev Landau wrote: " A question about the physical basis of the entropy monotonous increasing law remains open " One physicist said : " The entropy is only a shadow of energy“ # History of Entropy 1 - Clausius : dS= dQ / T. 2 - Boltzmann : S= k log W 3 - Planck : h*f = kT logW # The formula of Entropy is : h*f = kT logW Israel Sadovnik Socratus
Dr. Moungi Bawendi says "heat energy" and "work energy" (around 9.02). It should be noted that heat and work are not forms of energy. Both heat and work are modes to transfer energy. Heat and work are different from internal energy (both literally and at the philosophical level). Thermodynamics is a very important subject, and should be taught with utmost care. People should not learn from a person who says "heat energy" or "work energy."
There is a lot of blather below regarding whether the lecturer, who is excellent, made a slight mis-statement of this point or that point. All of which is beside the point. What I learned from 5 years of work towards a PhD in physical chemistry is that once through the material is never enough. It takes a combination of live lectures, several textbooks, study guides, writing out mathematical derivations until you understand them, and endless problem solving.
To everyone here....MIT is NOT an Ivy League (neither is Stanford for example).
Also, you can't say you understand the "education" of MIT just by watching a couple of the lectures on youtube. At MIT the education is much more than just and about the lectures, it's the extremely and notoriously difficult homework and projects in MIT's variety of classes that really require extremely challenging problem solving - the problem solving is the philosophy of learning at MIT.
@mappingtheshit Yep I made some grammar mistakes...I added a random "and" in the paragraph and so on. So what...it's not like I'm writing a essay, it's just a youtube comment. Also, exam scores in general are not the most important aspect of your college application, especially for top schools, like MIT or Harvard or etc.

Science does not belong to MIT.
Can someone give me a quick rundown of what will be explored in Theromodynamics and how difficult the course is. I'm taking it this summer at my college and I want to know just what I'm jumping into.
@TheUltimateBeing01 It's a lot of math and calculations and will, therefore, mean a lot of practice. I, personally, feel that a lot of the ideas here, and in subsequent lectures, are rather heady. If you can remember calculations, and are dilligent enough to practice them, you will find the subject matter rewarding.
Sigh. Why is this so hard for people to understand? Ivy league colleges, with their great reputation from movies etc, provide basically the same education as any respectable college or university. Why are they "top" colleges? Because it's harder to get in, more expensive to get in and they have much more funding for research. Students don't become smart from the education they receive from these colleges, they just did well in highschool + parents have enough money to pay (or relative attended).
@NeftaliPR Surly if the college has more funding that means the college can employ better teachers, afford to research education which in turn benefits pupils and purchase materials and resources for studies. In addition if the pupil excels at high school then they have every right to approach any "superior" college as this shows a willingness to learn. That means the college or university is not waisting its time on students that have no desire to learn...
@NeftaliPR Ivy League universities are exactly the same as any university, its fucking stupid to pay $40,000 a year to get an education from a stupid school with a reputation for its history how many nobel laureates have come from non Ivy league universities? HEAPS!
WOW it's really all about the name of the school u go to farreal. No one cares about how much u know. I went to community college and my chemistry teacher explained everything way better than he did.

I don't think you know what the word "theory" means in science. A scientific theory is different from a colloquial theory. Every single scientific explanation is a theory. Some has been disproven, such as cold fusion. Nonetheless, the empirical evidence behind evolution is a very solid foundation. You're implicitly a conspiracy theorist to say otherwise. Speciation has also been observed a few times, mostly in flowering plants, occasionally in insects, by scientists.
@Theoneandonly5811 I don't think religion's intention is to make us humans look like useless puppets, christianism is about love and kindness but also looks for the dignification of human life, therefore human knowledge. Actually one of the main philosophy in renaissance was the antropocentrism due to the constant humiliation of mankind in the theocentristic period
@Theoneandonly5811 Yeah actually I do. The thing is I dont think that the wisdom of men is useless. I'm studying Chemical Enginering so I'm also a scientist in certain way, and I believe in science and in the wisdom of mankind since we are the most inteligent lifeform on earth. Science's search is to understand how our world works and how can we apply that information to our lifes.
@Theoneandonly5811 I believe in God because I've felt him, because my religion matches my moral and ethical values, because I feel peace when I go to church, not because I can rationalize his existence.
@Theoneandonly5811 Well if it was a response couldn't you just write some lines? Not write a whole speech about christianity in a Thermodynamics Lecture of MIT. Dude this is coming from a Catholic, so I do believe in God. The difference is that I believe in God not because I can give you prove that he exists, I don't need anyone to believe me and I don't mess around with other people or what they believe in.
I'm not making fun of your claim about the 1st law—just the conclusions you draw from it. It's not dumb to say "scientists haven't reconciled the 1st law of thermodynamics and the start of the universe," but it's misguided and ignorant to come to the conclusion that, therefore, evolution is wrong. If you think a science as firmly grounded as evolution is wrong, then why believe ANY science? You're just looking for an attempt to rationalize what you already believe.
@Theoneandonly5811 To each their own. I will point out that a lot of us here are interested in understanding the world we live in, and this is what drives the scientific search of the world. Now, you may have one book, but to me, I can't see how that one book is any different from many other holy books. Nor can I see anything which would qualify it as being written by anybody with any knowledge of the world. Plus, it would seem the choice in religions is largely based on the location of birth.
@Theoneandonly5811 You misrepresent science and leave much to be desired in your reasoning. I do realize though that you're left with only a small space to write out pretty deep concepts. If you're interested in what some ideas in physics are, you can google Lawrence Krauss who has a very cool talk on this very subject called "A universe from nothing." Many books also deal with this subject including Hawking's new book "The grand design" which is a good read.
Great videos..really....I noticed one funny thing ... 24:26 ..."Thermodynamics, is that it takes so little information (2V) to get so much information out".. "So little data to get a lot of predictive info out..."...
Hey, and 1 more thing... Why can't you practically get to 0K or below... I've read a lot about this but wasn't able to get any answers. Why is there an absolute temperature?
@CYBERlite2010 Absolute temperature of 0K would imply that the system's internal energy would equal to zero. So, can the there be a system that has zero internal energy? Let's look at basics E=mc^2. Here we see that mass is directly propotional to the energy state of a given system (given c as a constant). Implying that we reached 0K would mean internal energy is zero, and since energy is directly related to mass of a given object, object would have zero mass (ceise to exist). Can't happen!
Something's bothering me now. At 15:13. Isn't a thermos of coffee an example of a closed system rather than an isolated system? Some thermal energy will be lost over time - it's not as if your coffee remains at the same temperature indefinitely lol Feel free to reply to this comment with any helpful insights.
@sephirothsoul999 There is no 'true' isolated system unless you define the universe as a whole as your system. Instead you must decide if the energy loss to surroundings is significant.
If your goal was to understand the heat lost from the coffee to the surroundings outside the thermos, then it wouldn't make sense to call the thermos isolated.
If you wanted to understand something going on inside the thermos, say the coffee is melting ice, then the heat lost through thermos might be irrelevant
Thanks :) Your response was insightful - it did make me consider whether the universe itself is an isolated system. This thought led me to this: "Since the term "universe" encompasses all phenomena everywhere, no such boundaries can possibly be determined." lol It's odd trying to imagine an 'outside' of the universe, so yes, i see your point ;) Back to my degree, i go!
@sephirothsoul999 According to current theory about the thermodynamics of the universe, in ten gajillion years all free energy will be gone and we will be fucked by then.
Yes, thank you to YouTube/Google. Programs like these reveal the foundational knowledge of our species. As the late Richard Feynman said: without a decent grasp of mathematics, we can't really understand the complex phenomena of our world. And to truly appreciate nature, we need to "see" not just the beautiful flower & its petals but also the trillions of cells, atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons, & subparticles which have coalesced into the formation of such a flower in the first place.
More global warming indoctrination. And I thought it was "climate change". That way if the atmospheres cools the socialists have the bases covered. Dude, just teach thermodynamics. Thats what theyre paying for isnt it?
Lol this is bullshit AP Physics in highschool is like 10x more intensive than this shit. This is probably like the first introductory course at MIT at the first day. Anyone who sees this video and thinks they can major in Physics in MIT has been deceived.
Free energy technology exists!But the powerfull Oil business won't alow common ppl to know this,Find this technology at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Let the revolution begin!
If you put an object in a magnetic chamber of 200 tesla, the object will vanish. Once you lower the field it will show up again. However when the object was gone, it has reached absolute zero, therefore the third law of thermodynamics was broken.
this is a great job to put online all this stuff but the only thing that bothers me is that a teacher from MIT needs his papers to describe such basic concepts
@kayanathera If you had taught any formal lesson in a classroom, or in any other similar venue, you know that regardless "how easy" your subject matter is (to you), to deliver it in a compact/coherent manner (to an audience), you NEED well organized notes to go by. The mind, even very proficient scientists & teachres, can wonder. Further, it might surprise people that even very bright people sometimes can't remember simple numbers, simple ideas, & simple points. Hence the notes.
@TheBovasianosChannel Did you mean 17 months or years? I learned this when I was 17 months old, But we all respond and react due to our life experiance. Citadel-Westpoint, and I'm a girl!
Jeezzzzus Christ poly! K we are all slaves to whatever you're arguing about and not free thinkers, now please stop being "that guy" who gives somebody a hard time for misunderstanding a question.
some say the world/ will end in fire/ some say ice/ from what i've tasted/ of desire I side/ with those who favor fire/ but if i had to perish twice/ ice is also good/ and would suffice
This stuff isn't intellectually hard to understand, but like at school, I find it very difficult to pay attention for a long time. My mind tends to wander a lot.
I've wondered whether my tendency to dislike lectures, and sitting in one place for a long time, kept me from getting through to the other side of education. I simply dropped out, because I couldn't work with the format.
Does anyone else know what I mean? And yes I've tried things for ADD.
@Polyfusia I never liked sitting through lectures in high school, even on subjects that I find very interesting. But I did it anyway, because I wanted to learn the material and get good grades. It's just a matter of getting through it.
@AlexandeAt a certain point in time, I literally cannot take in information. It's not that I don't like it, it's that my brain ceases to process it. Maybe it was more of a problem for me than it was for you. If I dropped out because I didn't like the lectures, and doing hard work, then I would only have myself to blame.
I literally couldn't do it. The first twenty minutes are fine, but then I think my brain shuts off because I'm stationary, like it's time to sleep.
@Polyfusia Yes, I guess I misunderstood you. In that case, I would re-study all of the material on my own time.
In most math classes I would not understand the lectures, and so studied all of the material again in the textbook when I got home.
Look, I'm not saying that it's your fault or whatever, but if you want the education, you find a way to get it. It's not as if having excuses about why you can't do it will help you in any way.
@Polyfusia Re-read your initial comment, and now this one, and think about what you are conveying.
I was offering advice on how to learn material regardless of impediments, and it now appears this was not what you were after in the first place. You were instead looking for an excuse for failure, and I made a mistake in offering advice.
No matter how insignificant the excuse, failure will always be easily achieved if failing is the intent.
@AlexanderLee1 I was not looking for an excuse for failure. I've been tested by professionals as being a genius, and my I.Q. is over 150.
My comment was questioning your reasoning, for sweating like a dog, just because somebody ordered it.
If you were in Germany today, you would leak blood sweat and tears, to meet the expectations of Hitler, because you base your own accomplishments upon nationally established systems of government, and not basic logic.
The Ocean Conveyer and Evaporation/precipitation cycle are natures example
The Sun heats the Tropical waters, Deep Space super cools the Polar waters, hot water rises,cold water falls the result is the Ocean Conveyer that uses the difference between hot water and cold water to create Kinetic motion(repeat)
As heat from the Ocean rises it created moist thermals, hot air rises, cold air falls and the difference makes wind by kenetics, as heat disapates it makes Clouds that rain(repeat)
He says volume doubling volume or Mass doesn't change the tempature 21:00 to 21:25 yet admits he buys into the Doubling of Co2 supposedly increasing tempature in the beggining...lol
All things within a system will eventually reach the same tempature
For intance put a cup of boiling water, room tempature water and Ice in the same bucket and eventually it will all become room tempature as the Ice gains heat and the boiling water loses heat to come room tempature at which time the heat to kinetic energy as the motion between hot water and cold water and warm water cracking ice and heat disapation to evaporation,and heat transference to bucket stops
@TheRealArchAngel Well, I do know what the Zeroeth law means, but what the professor was doing with it is called in an idiom of my language as "breaking the leg of the zeroeth law" :)
Basic Zeroth law is that a Increase in mass or volume does NOT allow the heat absorption threshold to rise when subjected to the same amount of heat from same heat source
This means that Air with 90oppm of Co2 will not absorb more heat then 390ppm from the Sun or the ground below it as the wackos preaching corrupt Svante's lack of CO2 causes Ice Ages 19th century chemical theory(disproved by testing and how the "Zeroth law" was discovered)
First of all i didnt say he doesnt know anything. He surely is a great scientist that is why he is at MIT. And for your information no law of physics has been "proved". creation of a machine with 100 % efficiency will "disprove" the second law, not prove it. Talk about free education.
I am sure he is not a physicist otherwise he would nt make such useless statements like "these laws are not proven" what law on earth is proven more than the laws of thermodynamics? hahah
At 38:37 you can see he blotched the Zeroth Law of thermodynamics, but quickly corrected himself. That is what good Professors do. They catch their mistakes and quickly adjust back on track. Good Job.
Having taken Stat-Mech at a Cal State University makes me feel that MIT education is overrated. I sense not much difference in style & breadth; if this was taken from an actual course!
LMFAO, "I literally can't understand it because of its simplicity" lol thats got to be the stupidest self-contradicting thing i've ever heard in my life.
Oh and btw you used the word ambiguity in the wrong context. Nice try academic snob. Come back with more snobbyness.
The more simple the more better. You're just an academic snob who wants harder stuff so you can feel more important than others, sorry that stuff doesn't fly with me, maybe one someone else but not me.
why is this dumbed down so much? this is like teaching thermodynamics to a high school class. I thought these were MIT students? Glad i dont waste my money going to a school like this.
Mir ist aufgefallen, dass die amerikanische Form des Unterrichts sehr viel oberflächlicher ist, als die deutsche. Es ist zwar einfacher zu verstehen, wirkt jedoch popolärwissenschaftlich. Ich vermisse genaue Definitionen und komplexe Zusammenhänge. Jedoch ist diese Form ein gelungener Einstieg für Laien. Thanks.
He means that the 2nd law defines the direction of spontaneous change. A process is spontaneous only if the total entropy of the system in which it occurs increases. For example, sugar dissolving in hot coffee occurs spontaneously -- sugar will only crystallize from hot coffee if energy is expended. i.e. the entropy of the universe must always increase--it follows the direction of natural change, a.k.a. the "arrow of time". The 2nd law is also about the reversibility of change No more room!
Excellent lecture. I find Thermodynamics an inherently dull, unexciting subject and thus difficult to teach but this is lecturer is SO engaging I'm reallly enjoying it! Surprise surprise...
Can anyone recommend a good book? I'm using F.Mandl's Statistical Physics and it's a chore to read... Bland prose.... little, vague or irrelevant examples for unclear end of chapter problems... If anyone has had any luck with a book on Thermodynamics for 2nd year Physics it would really help!
It will be if libraries get any less money then they do now. And I'm here because my prof. is an awful teacher. Makes me wonder how awful the would be if education was.... what was that again... free, complete, and convenient?
There is nothing to wonder about! You have helped prove that free education at your fingertips by excellent professors is benificial to even paying students like yourself! Please think before you type. I don't want to come back here to point out the odvious.
@davedefran im so happy that this is available. we learn simply through our relationships with otyhers. anyone upset that they cant afford education has all the answers they evere asked for at their fingure tips. HOW GREATFULL AM I to live in a time where we can shasre video of the past with eachother as if we were sharing idea withe eachother tangibly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you very much berkeley
You know, I used to hear people say that this or that professor was "too smart to teach." But in reality, I always found that those professors were not quite smart enough to teach. The most crystal clear, aha-laden courses I ever took were inevitably taught by people who understood the subject matter so intimately that they could adjust their explication on the fly so as to reach each student at his or her own level and mode of understanding.
Yes. It's similar to first-semester Physical Chemistry in most universities. Requires 2 semsters of Physics w/ Calc, 2 Semesters of Gen Chem, Single & Multi-Var Calculus, Diff Eqns (ODE), and Organic 1 & 2 is strongly recommended.
science rock star :)

@Theoneandonly5811 I don't think religion's intention is to make us humans look like useless puppets, christianism is about love and kindness but also looks for the dignification of human life, therefore human knowledge. Actually one of the main philosophy in renaissance was the antropocentrism due to the constant humiliation of mankind in the theocentristic period
BeckerRomeo92 11 months ago
@Theoneandonly5811 Yeah actually I do. The thing is I dont think that the wisdom of men is useless. I'm studying Chemical Enginering so I'm also a scientist in certain way, and I believe in science and in the wisdom of mankind since we are the most inteligent lifeform on earth. Science's search is to understand how our world works and how can we apply that information to our lifes.

@Theoneandonly5811 Well if it was a response couldn't you just write some lines? Not write a whole speech about christianity in a Thermodynamics Lecture of MIT. Dude this is coming from a Catholic, so I do believe in God. The difference is that I believe in God not because I can give you prove that he exists, I don't need anyone to believe me and I don't mess around with other people or what they believe in.

@Theoneandonly5811
I'm not making fun of your claim about the 1st law—just the conclusions you draw from it. It's not dumb to say "scientists haven't reconciled the 1st law of thermodynamics and the start of the universe," but it's misguided and ignorant to come to the conclusion that, therefore, evolution is wrong. If you think a science as firmly grounded as evolution is wrong, then why believe ANY science? You're just looking for an attempt to rationalize what you already believe.

@Theoneandonly5811 To each their own. I will point out that a lot of us here are interested in understanding the world we live in, and this is what drives the scientific search of the world. Now, you may have one book, but to me, I can't see how that one book is any different from many other holy books. Nor can I see anything which would qualify it as being written by anybody with any knowledge of the world. Plus, it would seem the choice in religions is largely based on the location of birth.

@Theoneandonly5811 You misrepresent science and leave much to be desired in your reasoning. I do realize though that you're left with only a small space to write out pretty deep concepts. If you're interested in what some ideas in physics are, you can google Lawrence Krauss who has a very cool talk on this very subject called "A universe from nothing." Many books also deal with this subject including Hawking's new book "The grand design" which is a good read.

@CYBERlite2010
I think it's zero point energy, things vibrate because of the uncertainty principle even without applied energy.
unassumption 1 year ago
@CYBERlite2010 Absolute temperature of 0K would imply that the system's internal energy would equal to zero. So, can the there be a system that has zero internal energy? Let's look at basics E=mc^2. Here we see that mass is directly propotional to the energy state of a given system (given c as a constant). Implying that we reached 0K would mean internal energy is zero, and since energy is directly related to mass of a given object, object would have zero mass (ceise to exist). Can't happen!

Something's bothering me now. At 15:13. Isn't a thermos of coffee an example of a closed system rather than an isolated system? Some thermal energy will be lost over time - it's not as if your coffee remains at the same temperature indefinitely lol Feel free to reply to this comment with any helpful insights.
sephirothsoul999 1 year ago
@sephirothsoul999 There is no 'true' isolated system unless you define the universe as a whole as your system. Instead you must decide if the energy loss to surroundings is significant.
If your goal was to understand the heat lost from the coffee to the surroundings outside the thermos, then it wouldn't make sense to call the thermos isolated.
If you wanted to understand something going on inside the thermos, say the coffee is melting ice, then the heat lost through thermos might be irrelevant

Thanks :) Your response was insightful - it did make me consider whether the universe itself is an isolated system. This thought led me to this: "Since the term "universe" encompasses all phenomena everywhere, no such boundaries can possibly be determined." lol It's odd trying to imagine an 'outside' of the universe, so yes, i see your point ;) Back to my degree, i go!

Yes, thank you to YouTube/Google. Programs like these reveal the foundational knowledge of our species.

And to truly appreciate nature, we need to "see" not just the beautiful flower & its petals but also the trillions of cells, atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons, & subparticles which have coalesced into the formation of such a flower in the first place.

If you put an object in a magnetic chamber of 200 tesla, the object will vanish. Once you lower the field it will show up again. However when the object was gone, it has reached absolute zero, therefore the third law of thermodynamics was broken.

This stuff isn't intellectually hard to understand, but like at school, I find it very difficult to pay attention for a long time. My mind tends to wander a lot.
I've wondered whether my tendency to dislike lectures, and sitting in one place for a long time, kept me from getting through to the other side of education. I simply dropped out, because I couldn't work with the format.
Does anyone else know what I mean? And yes I've tried things for ADD.

@AlexandeAt a certain point in time, I literally cannot take in information. It's not that I don't like it, it's that my brain ceases to process it. Maybe it was more of a problem for me than it was for you. If I dropped out because I didn't like the lectures, and doing hard work, then I would only have myself to blame.
I literally couldn't do it. The first twenty minutes are fine, but then I think my brain shuts off because I'm stationary, like it's time to sleep.
Polyfusia 1 year ago
@Polyfusia Yes, I guess I misunderstood you. In that case, I would re-study all of the material on my own time.
In most math classes I would not understand the lectures, and so studied all of the material again in the textbook when I got home.
Look, I'm not saying that it's your fault or whatever, but if you want the education, you find a way to get it. It's not as if having excuses about why you can't do it will help you in any way.

@AlexanderLee1 Re-study material? How am I supposed to study things I was supposed to hear, or write down, when my brain is a puddle of mush.
Here's a question. Why did you spend so much of your time doing something you hated, because someone told you to? Was it "to have a future"?
Take a look at the job market. I know people with Masters degrees working at Best Buy.

@Polyfusia Re-read your initial comment, and now this one, and think about what you are conveying.
I was offering advice on how to learn material regardless of impediments, and it now appears this was not what you were after in the first place. You were instead looking for an excuse for failure, and I made a mistake in offering advice.
No matter how insignificant the excuse, failure will always be easily achieved if failing is the intent.

As heat from the Ocean rises it created moist thermals, hot air rises, cold air falls and the difference makes wind by kenetics, as heat disapates it makes Clouds that rain(repeat)

All things within a system will eventually reach the same tempature
For intance put a cup of boiling water, room tempature water and Ice in the same bucket and eventually it will all become room tempature as the Ice gains heat and the boiling water loses heat to come room tempature at which time the heat to kinetic energy as the motion between hot water and cold water and warm water cracking ice and heat disapation to evaporation,and heat transference to bucket stops

@TheRealArchAngel Well, I do know what the Zeroeth law means, but what the professor was doing with it is called in an idiom of my language as "breaking the leg of the zeroeth law" :)
babarahmed 1 year ago
Basic Zeroth law is that a Increase in mass or volume does NOT allow the heat absorption threshold to rise when subjected to the same amount of heat from same heat source
This means that Air with 90oppm of Co2 will not absorb more heat then 390ppm from the Sun or the ground below it as the wackos preaching corrupt Svante's lack of CO2 causes Ice Ages 19th century chemical theory(disproved by testing and how the "Zeroth law" was discovered)

He means that the 2nd law defines the direction of spontaneous change. A process is spontaneous only if the total entropy of the system in which it occurs increases. For example, sugar dissolving in hot coffee occurs spontaneously -- sugar will only crystallize from hot coffee if energy is expended. i.e. the entropy of the universe must always increase--it follows the direction of natural change, a.k.a. the "arrow of time". The 2nd law is also about the reversibility of change No more room!
