Soooo, entropy is a measure of our ignorance, and entropy always increases.... that explains a few things!

Well, we always get to entropy eventually.

I am a graduate electrical engineer, and retired a few years ago. I wish my instructors were half as good a you. It is nice to come back to physics after so many years.

This is like a free tutor session with Sean - and for free. It doesn’t get better than this. And I’m a musician who loves this stuff as a hobby.

Thank you Sean for these videos, they are the absolute best and most comprehensible series of science lectures I have ever seen. All for free! You are a genius and a gentleman, kind sir.

You, Dr. Carroll, are my favorite teacher of all times. Thank you.

That fact that no one understands entropy (or information for that matter) has allowed creationists to get away with a lot of shenanigans (Shannonigans?) about information and entropy with biologists (who don't generally study either). <br><br>In fact, that's why I watched this video was to more understand both in order to counter creationist claims. <br><br>Thanks!

Awesome as always ! <br>I finally made through the 40 (I include QA as they are like their own lesson honestly) I love it. <br>With my math and CS background I understood 70% of the videos! Unfortunately when later trying to explain to my teen kids I remember 20%. But..I love 100% of the videos. With infinite time I’d rewatch them again. Thanks for the video series.

Incredibly helpful to have the full four "versions" of entropy outlined like this. Brilliant pedagogy, much appreciated!
