Entropy explained conceptually:

I decided to make this because I had trouble finding satisfying explanations of entropy that didn’t utilize abstract boxes of gas particles.

In 2020, I worked on this video full-time from April to June. I enjoyed this immensely, and it partially spurred me to create this website.

If I were to redo this today I’d use a Galton board to replace the paper cranes segment.

I created this video with Ariana Dyer, and we were fortunate to be helped by all of these individuals:

  • Alexander Cali
  • Eric Brown
  • Richard Wertz
  • Audrey Ng
  • Dr. Janan Wehbeh
  • Henry Wertz
  • Rebecca Seubert
  • Chloe Mathewson
  • and many others
