We made this video for a class on entropy. Amazingly, these marbles defy entropy and move from a disordered state to an ordered state.

  • Even if this effect were true, and not just a reversal of the film.entrophy was not defied. 1st law of thermodynamics: work = energy and energy = work.The second that the box was lifted into the air, work was being done (heat), the shaking of the box required muscles to be used, burning calories (heat), the marbles rolling in the box created friction (heat). Heat increases entrophy, ergo, entrophy wasn't defied.

  • ...even if he did this forwards it's possible in a thing known as the Brazil Nut Effect.

  • You're an ass.
