Wow, this video really puts things into perspective! It's fascinating to think about how we humans and our technology are really just tapping into the natural flow of energy from order to disorder in the universe. And now we're on the brink of harnessing the ultimate form of energy through fusion, which could offer us almost unlimited power. But as the video points out, all our efforts are just a tiny blip in the grand scheme of things. The universe is always unraveling and we're just trying to preserve a tiny pocket of order. It's both humbling and inspiring to think about our place in the cosmos. And the idea that information is a fundamental part of the universe is mind-blowing. Thanks for sharing this thought-provoking video!

So beautifully explained that even a very ordinary person like myself can grasp the wonder of it. Brilliant.

Now I wonder if that newly created chaos , which came from order, would get orderly again. For example, a tree looses leaves in fall and then the decaying leaves give energy back to the tree for the new leaves to be created. I found it very inspiring to hear that the heat emitting energies stay (cluster) together. Thank you for uploading. Jim Al-Khalili always a pleasure to watch and listen to.

Aris, Goddess of Chaos, Striff, and Disorder has led me astray to put an end to your wondering, so wonder no more for Disorder is ordered in the order of order to Disorder. For verification please visit your local DMV. A'hem.

Life is clearly against entropy. And evolution itself is from disorder to order. So there are many gaps in our knowlege.

@Ulysses You say that life seems like it's working "against" entropy, but think about how good life is at disseminating energy in various forms. And how structures like the planets absorb high energy photons and re-radiate them as many lower energy photons. Things that *seem* "against" entropy often turn out to be serving it somewhere else. The second law isn't violated anywhere. We're just what's happening in the interim of everything being as close together as it can be and everything being as uniformly spread out as it wants to be.

Chaos isn’t “newly created”, as it’s always been this way, yet scientists are finally moving away from reductionist thinking which has failed on so many levels. Think about why you think what you believe and you’ll realize the truth of how the universe works within your framework. Enjoy the journey 🌹

The tree, like the planet, is in a cosmic life cycle. There are cycles within cycles. Everything cycles. It’s energy and moves in waves.

I am sure a great deal of ENTROPY was required to produce this work of art. Brilliant. Thank You Professor

Sir, you also played the piano well. I am a new fan of you and knowledge seeker as i also have a brain which always hungry of knowledge. Thank you so much for enriching the world of knowledge.

"falling apart", "disorder", "it gets worse", "order to disorder" etc. From the beginning of this video (wonderful, by the way, and I love Jim!) I was thinking, "Why? Those are negative words. Seems more like a restrictive state (a block of steel or our body) going towards freedom and beauty."

I've one complaint - why wasn't Professor Jim around in 1960's when I was at school ? ❤

I love this video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Great work 💪

Professor, what do you think about the conciousness-first theories of the universe that say actually, space, time, matter and energy are interpretations of an eternal preexisting mind so mind came before matter?

Jim A-K, the Attenborough of physics. AKA Legend.

I've heard before that the plow was one of the greatest inventions for mankind

Top shelf video right here.. will check out more of your stuff.

For life to begin, the conditions on earth had to be right. To be right, a long chain of events had to occur in the universe since the beginning.

We are the universe, expressing ourself as human for a little while, 80 years - 120 years

I wondered who this guy was when he appeared in a promo for Veely documentaries where he says that everything the viewer knows is completely wrong. Finally identified him by accidently clicking on this video here.

incredible ...shame i wont live long enough to keep on discovering

Definitely the scariest part of dying.

@Monty Whats so scary about what you call dying...its living, thats the scary part

look around you

you want to stay here ?

ahhhh you assume death is the end :E your in for a shock

Sir I believe you can produce engaging content

"What is the link between evolution and the universe?" In one word, entropy. Let's call entropy the natural tendency for high potential energy move to a lower potential energy state. Life is a means of speed up that process. Life, given enough time, is equivlent to one match starting a forest fire. How does the match come to be? In two words, abiogenesis and evolution.

It’s a bit more complex than straight entropy, there seems to be other underlying mechanisms that induce complexities.

So, if you think of it, cancer with its disorderly and uncontrollable growth of cells, can be interpreted as the ultimate form of entropy

🙏"gravity is my understanding " - the link from universe to the living being🙏maganlal mistry,'23,ldn.u.k.

This was a laboured undertaking with too much repetition. Jim it would also be of use to illustrate Entropy in the chemistry of life.

Excellent explanation, thank you. I wish there was less background music though, the feel was very 90s and was distracting.

Despite the invention and harnessing the unlimited energy from the universe,✨️I can guarantee one thing for sure the price of energy will never be free but will increase only. So, all those Karisma are meant to be for business purposes only.

Try dropping that jug on the space station to see if it then becomes more "disordered". On Earth, it shatters because a force is applied to it by the impact on the floor. Now try melting a chocolate rabbit to increase its "disorder" and then realize that heat has now been concentrated in the chocolate so the entropy has decreased. Now pour the chocolate into a rabbit mold and let it cool. The heat loss is energy spreading out so entropy increases... but.. we now have a nicely ordered chocolate rabbit. Here's what's going on: Consider a pack of playing cards that has been sorted into suit order. Now give it a good shuffle so that the pack is now "disordered" and then returned to a uniform ambient temperature. Has the shuffle increased the entropy of the pack? NO! It has not. In this case, the concept of "order" is merely a human convention. Now take a pen and write the numbers 1 to 52 on each card in turn. The pack is now in "order" again. It follows that the concept of "order" is so familiar in everyday experiences that its use in science is dangerously misleading. As explained in the first part of the video, entropy is a measure of the spreading out of energy concentrations.

Discoveries and inventions are all linked as we search for what we claim to be better. These materialistic necessities are first needed but are shortly disgarded. I find that want's and needs have little shelf life and then we're out again to buy more to keep us happy. It's the way of the world and the garbage tips are filling up quickly. The earth was created from chaos, and we have found a way to put it back that way. There's nothing to be proud of, and it's very shameful. I was much happier living in the 60's and 70's, then the world got horrible.

Beautiful 😍

Excellent

53:00 listen to the teacher ; he is standing is the most radioactive zone in the universe ; just like voyager ...

Where, how and when did the original order (which is now disintegrating) come from?

Seems most likely a forever ebb and flow. This is just our time and this universal iteration.

Energy? Human beings are the Second Law's way of extracting all that coal and oil and radiating it out to the Universe a little bit faster. At the wavelength of television, Earth is a bright star sending out Hitler opening the 1936 Olympic Games, followed by a generation of "I Love Lucy." And, fortunately, a bit of love and happiness on the side...

Dec 5th, 2022: science has had the first fusion breakthrough: they got more energy than they put into it. Probably in 20 yrs, fusion power plants were exist

The so-called fusion "breakthrough" of Dec 5, 2022 was most certainly not the "first fusion breakthrough", that is just plain nonsense not even the media claimed. And though the reaction had released more energy than the laser energy the reaction itself consumed, the entire device required nearly a hundred times that amount of energy to create that laser beam in the first place resulting in a 99% LOSS of actual energy overall. Yes, it took 99% more energy to create the fusion reaction than was produced. The statements from the scientists at the facility were misleading. possibly intentionally, and the media was as usual happy to continue spreading the misinformation. Over the past few years there has been an explosion of scientists willing to mislead, if not outright lie to, the public, and this has just encouraged the media's malfeasance. Some people have even been arrogant enough to claim they "speak for science"; Science speaks for itself, it does not need a self-indulgent scientist to speak for it.

The moment a particle is a wave; it has to be a conscious wave! Gravity is the conscious attraction among waves to create the illusion of particles, and our experience-able Universe. Max Planck states "Consciousness is fundamental and matter is derived from Consciousness". Life is the Infinite Consciousness, experiencing the Infinite Possibilities, Infinitely. We are "It", experiencing our infinite possibilities in our finite moment. Our job is to make it interesting!

Very well said

I love how Pseudo-Physicists think they can just skip right past Physics101, "The Fundamentals Of Physics" and jump into Physics601, "The Nature Of Reality".

Max Planck was just guessing.

Hey Deepak, is that you? Life is the manifestation of individuated nuclear forces coupled in quantum consciousness. Look, it's all an illusion. Meanwhile in the realm of life............. I wonder what photons think of us? 🤣

"All forms of energy are destined to degrade and fall apart." (1min 40secs) No they aren't and they don't. Not heard many dire warnings that the energy in the waves of the seas and oceans is on the way to fading to a few tame ripples.

“Energy is crumbling” towards equilibrium—is that disorder? IMO, the final state of energy of equilibrium is the ultimate order.

On the thumbnail Jim looks like someone that would eat at Lil' Bits

Looking at the Earth at night shows how successful we've been, or does it show a cancerous cell, a civilization on the brink of self destruction...

chaos is cycled back through black holes or suns emerging as highly ordered radiation. Creation was a very special highly ordered state. Quantum fluctuations occurred as information was converted into energy to matter. Imagine the butterfly effect at the subatomic scale blown up to interstellar scale. ...and there ya go.

Oh boy, some guy is going to give me the secrets of the Universe, right here on the tube. Ain't the internet amazing?

The price of seeing this great documentary again is too high. The random adverts interrupt the piece so destructively as to render it a mess of irrelevant intrusions.

Which means you think this documentary and those like it aren't worth $12 a month to you. I haven't seen an ad in year's and find so much wonderful content on here that I no longer pay for legacy TV.

use an ad blocker

Send it to kodi. No adverts No cost... your paying the price of poor know how lad!

I pay $11.99 a month, and haven't seen an ad in literally YEARS. $11.99 is nothing. I don't even notice that I'm paying for it to be honest.

Chaos wins again.

Planet earth is The Sun's farm/petri dish where one crop in particular, humans, are the medium of it's poor taste in entertainment. Stars are alive Stars farm planets

GREAT MAN BODY ARE STUDY OF THE UNIVERSE. ALL PHENOMENON COME IN HUMAN BODY BY TIME INFLUENCE AND REFLECRIONS

The concept “nothing” cannot have the ability to act, otherwise it would be a thing that exists. If the universe came from “nothing” then this nothing would have had to have acted in order to have become the universe. Therefore, the universe could not have come from nothing on its own. Since the universe obviously exists, then “something” which had the ability to act, must have always existed. If time had ever in the past, proceeded at an infinite rate, we would not be here today because all events would have already occurred in a single instant. Therefore, time had to have always proceeded at a finite rate and any mathematician can prove that since time has always progressed at a finite rate, it could never have reached an infinite time interval. Therefore, time could not have started a finite time ago and therefore had a beginning. And you cannot just say, all we need to do is to wait an infinite amount of time and then we would reach an infinite amount of time, because then you are assuming that you can wait an infinite amount of time, but this is what you were trying to prove and so that is not a proof at all. Since this “something” always existed, it had to have existed before time started. Since space and time are one entity as Einstein pointed out, and since all material things must exist in space and time, then this “something” had to have existed outside of space and time and is not made up of material things. And this “something” could not be just chaos which has no order, because as we have already proved, something cannot come from nothing on its own, and therefore order cannot come from pure disorder. Hence, this “something” had to have had the ability to cause order and since we call ourselves beings, then we should at least call this “something” the greatest Being of all, who we call God.

It's ebbing and flowing and has always been here. We don't need a magical answer. That's not trying at all.

So where did the initial order come from? Yeah, I know - Big Bang. But that's a non-explanation which just pushed the question backwards. Play entropy back to the beginning, and the universe was massively complex and ordered. So where did that order come from?

A perforated-herniated super-ultra-mega-massive black hole. That's my rather cheeky theory and no one has proven me wrong so far!

Carnot was smart. But many of his ideas turned out to be false, or at best, incomplete. And your video treats his stuff as truth, exclusively, while expanding on the parts that we can show to be false or incomplete. So, I consider the content of the video to be both false, and incomplete, in summary.

The miracles is how they learn it from nothings😕👽

These ideas have been common knowledge in India from many millennium s

What will happen to the heat or energy when this universe will die ?

This probably got answered in the video but what happens to energy once the water in my cup goes cold where is that energy gone?

The energy gets spread out into its surroundings. From there it will spread out again and again forever

The supreme living life force that we imagine, dream (while sleep), and study continually, but, try to control too many god like facets of existence and creation.

👍❤️🤗

It's the documentary published years ago . They just changed the title.

But still great video

We should be using our knowledge against entropy instead of contributing accelerating it, life would have enough time to perhaps be adapted to that environment, So.

Why heat needs medium to travel ?

somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep... disorder, disorder, disorder

When I became the sun I shone life into the man's hearts

But this outstanding documentary made me ordered form disordered...

Damn... if you block with your hands, the guy in the thumbnail's face from forehead downwards... it looks like you are looking at the daylight side of some planet..... Nice one...

Why not use microwaves to maintain the heat so get it to temperature then use microwaves to maintain the temperature u need to use mica with alloy for containers 😂😂😂😂😂

Awsome yours eyes man are not lying😅

But I had seen this video years ago . I t is not new and surely not 3 months ago as you have referred to in the caption!

Don’t be dramatic. Just say it.

Dead is the secret of the univers no matter well happened is going to be a secret no one knows it 😕😅😄

But London's Mayor Sadiq Khan campaigning on EV said it's pure green energy and has zero disorder. 🤔

And he said I make the decisions!

Beginning with Leibniz. Newton is rolling over in his grave.

So successful that we'll create our own MASS -EXTINCTION. Nice!

The Same energy will eventually implode and explode ending all life on earth.

Jim al K!

Thermodynamics!

No. It’s flying apart.

The universe is falling apart? Oh no! Does this mean I should cancel my dentist appointment? 😼

how many teeth do you have ?

Is it outside of a trillion years from now?

10,000 OUT OF 4.5 BILLION YEARS, FROM THE EARTHS BEGINNINGS TO THE STONE AGE TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND MAN HAVE WE SCREWED THINGS UP! SAD

We've certainly made rapid modifications to the planet that otherwise would not have occured, but so too did an asteroid striking the Yucatan long ago. We owe our existence to that asteroid, who knows what new species will have us to thank for their rise to dominance in the future.

Unchecked evolution while humanity denies it. We still act like we need to emerge. We're going right through our terrarium.

Old doco that this channel re uploads for the revenue and changes the title of the original doco, this channel has no shame.

Wow it's like everyone from Dunning-Kruger middle school is commenting here and they are all certain they know something about science.

It's unnecessary to add what specific knowledge Dunning-Kruger Middle Schoolers believe they possess as it's already implied. As a graduate with honors myself, I would know.

"it's like everyone from Dunning-Kruger middle school is commenting here" -- Yes, -- especially you.

Here we have to take actual messroments with 9 and 8 and make them the shape of + and for that draw a circle it will be a crros with the length 9 width 8 in that we get 4 parts up each side give 1 1 number and down 2. 2 number then in circle make a triangle and by massoring the given time of the Earth will seen in minutes as 144 288 72 as time times and half years 3¹/² days this is a link between universe and human and dark energy and matter thanks .

Thats machine is me along long time ago it manage to have a tool to make esay life go on😕😅😄

it confuses me the way what is called disorder by the presenter seems more orderly to me.. a volcano explodes, throwing ash or pouring lava etc.. very chaotic and disorderly (to me lol) it cools, maybe becomes rock.. solid.. cooler.. and way more orderly??

In the case of your example, the net entropy ( disorder) increases. Rocks maybe more organized and orderly, but the heat transfer to the atmosphere makes the whole system more disorderly.

Yes this is called wisdom of God . Here is the picture of the universe and by disorder it and making again in order with other way they it looks like human body these are all possible by mathematical way only and there is no other way. In the Bible (Isaiah 6 chap) this can be possible to find the dark energy and matter and this is called the link between universe is human body thanks.

I note that when science learns and teaches us how things truly are, theism tries to jump on board in order to maintain viability. Even adopting their terms. Evolution in action.

I came here expecting a discussion on "human evolution." Would somebody please point me to the video that this title was written for.

😢😢😢

Interesting idea, but to my mind slow and ponderous, made worse by intrusive music.

"Secrets Of The Universe" eh? Revealed on YouTube? Haw, haw, haw, haw, haw, haw, haw, haw, haw, haw, etc., etc. That's a good one!

Indeed! The secrets of the universe are revealed on Facebook.

Evrysingle tiny what you see is me along long time ago no matter what ever is that it is exist from nothing😕👽

HYDROGENE

I am talking to my self again be coz i am the one😕👽😂😄

I am making a little list. Any product = ad that interrupts my programme is automatically boycotted.

Speaking of lists of offensives, are we still allowed to say "boycotted"?

45:15 Depressing.

No but everything else is

Science fiction!!!!!

Dark energy consciousness ,which never dies, that most human beings neglect ,dark energy consciousness mind over matter ,and it do have the potential to live outside matter/flesh fully conscious,have a lil more faith in the things unseen ,ye of lil faith ,that is your link

Human evolution ? This hypothesis was rejected decades ago. Where have you been all these years, man?

the Universe is an anomaly and so is Homo Sapiens.

dont waste your lives :)

The link between evolution and the universe? Evolution happened in the universe.  You're welcome.

J'y comprend rien ... ordered, disordered, de quoi on parle. On dirait un point de vue moral sur la science, comment peut-on décréter à l'échelle universelle ce qui est ordered de ce qui disordered.

I wanted to watch this documentary but the frequency of commercials made it impossible to enjoy. So sorry…it looked interesting but I have to give up.

Pay a few bucks for the media. Free is for those who don't care.

Do you know how it exist evrythings including God.😕👽

30:01

this what the would does

I find anything made for TV is so boring in terms of pace and tone now compared to what YouTubers offer. After 16 minutes I had to stop watching this because there’s so little information and so much padding!

​@Dan Paulson Your comment had personal attacks and prejudice, instead of addressing why you disagree with my original comment.

Study universe for. Seeing Picture lighthing only , by telescope it's useless nothing,why because no have machine space ship speed of light,

Almost as bad as the worst mass shooting in the us history

Fairy tales for schooled parrots!
