Entropy

An animated romp through the science of increased disorder. This was one of my first attempts at stop-motion animation, completed in a workshop I took at Sarah Lawrence College. I know the Lip-Sync is off, but I'm pleased with how it turned out, being a first try and all. Enjoy!

As to the technical question: this was filmed on 16mm film running through a camera on an old Oxberry Animation stand, just like they used in the old days. It's as big as a Volkswagen, and the college I went to was lucky enough to have one in use. I'm glad you liked it.

"Einstein is black?"

Not a lot of people know he was black and that he was gangster too.... Didn't you read Einstizzle's theory of relatizzle?

i hate entropy!

[CDvd16]

do you have the lyrics or something? we need it.

I really wish all of the "free energy" quacks would watch this... so many people are saying that they have created perpetual energy and that the government is suppressing their inventions

This is the best thing I have ever seen ever.

@Jtking3000 I used to hate entropy, but now it just kind of irks me.

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

@ThePhantomWozzler Cool stereotyping, bro

Have you heard that entropy isn't what it used to be?

[mphello]

@mphello ... the group majority in order to get from one particle to another. If that force particle (from one of the particles) just continued with the same group majority velocity vector, it couldn't get to any of the other particles.

Such a universe is maximum "fairness" or entropy.

[mphello]

I like to explain tending to a supremum of entropy as going from a more unfair state to a fairer state. Imagine if every particle in the universe travelled with the exact same velocity vector, yet the total energy - the sum of the mass of each particle times its speed squared - were the same as today's universe. Then no particle could be aware of any other particle's existence, since one would need a force particle to jump from one particle to another with a DIFFERENT velocity vector than...
