Professor Brian Cox builds sandcastles in the Namib Desert to explain why time travels in one direction. It is a result of a phenomenon called entropy; a law of physics that tells us any system tends towards disorder.

If I were a science teacher for the high-school level, all I would do is show Carl Sagan and Brian Cox videos.

Carl Sagan would be proud

Though his voice is verry funny to take the **** out of, he is very interesting.

@dazzerboy19 hmm good point...here is what I think. While it may seem like we have seen a decrease in entropy since the evolution of our species it acually has still been increasing if you remove yourself from the equation and think of yourself and other oganisms as just other variables in the equation along with everything else in the universe.

my bedroom has very, very high entropy. I told my mom about the second law of thermodynamics and about how if we wait long enough with the windows open, the wind will tidy it up for me. She didnt buy it.

@Lan5in6 he's demonstrating how particles behave in low and high entropy states using sand as a medium so we can understand matter, it's not about the sand or the castle.

Brian could talk for hours on end about how to clean a toaster and I would still be interested.
I think Chuck Norris has met his match ;D
