Cool science song channel
8If you like science I ran into (via a relative who teaches physics) a really neat science (physics heavy) song channel. In this video about entropic time the person is actually singing the song backwards although you’d not be able to tell that by the video. At the very end they tell you where to go to see how it was made.
Here is the video url:

He created a second channel for, in his words, the more weird things he is doing:

Enjoy.

I didn’t get my package that you said shipped November 9
@Cart6719 have you checked the tracking from your order page? If you need help you can reach help from the orders page or go to meh.com/support
@kidsandliz fun! Entropy is very mysterious, and he put a ton of energy into trying to explain it.
One of the smart physics dudes I was listening to pointed out that at the Big Bang (or long ago…whatever), entropy was very low for some reason we don’t understand. Ever since then, entropy has been (universally, anyway) increasing. But eventually (like in krakatoa-jillions of years) that rate of increase will slow down as the energy and material of the universe gets evenly distributed. At that point there won’t really be any creatures or entities around to notice that entropy is increasing…because matter will be too diffuse for a ‘creature’ to exist. Yes, entropy will still be increasing, but at an infinitesimally slow rate.
It’s fun to imagine what the last conscious entities in the universe might be like… diffuse sentient clouds, perhaps, with thoughts that take eons to process and reflect. Eventually they will dissipate, and the cosmos will be cold and black.
On the other hand, maybe dark energy will reverse, and all matter will rush back to a tiny point and the Universe will begin again. This is my favorite scenario. I want to live again in a hunka-junka-hankajillion years, and be annoyed by teenage acne again, and learn to drive again, and be terrified of bears again. Fun!
@Kidsandliz Thanks! With physics and music, you can’t go wrong with me.
I’d give you a cosmos full of stars, but there are no emojis for cosmos or even galaxy. Sigh.
(Is this something we can blame the goat for?)
@mehcuda67 Of course - we can always blame the goat.
I noticed that a number of my friends in college who did physics (and sometime engineering) also played musical instruments quite well. And two of my friends who were at the Eastman School of Music minored in physics. Makes me wonder if there is something about the brain connections with the two that increase those odds.
I do know research documents that kids who start music lessons at a young age end up better in math, even years later, than those who do not; that there is overlap in the parts of the brain activated when doing music or math and that this part of the brain has more complex neuron connections in kids with the early music than those who do not have early music lessons. Would at least partly make sense though in that you are counting with music.
@Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 So if I give you the emoji, do I avoid the blame?
@ybmuG didn’t help set the clocks back.
@mediocrebot Nope, and you’re on your own in March, too!
@Kidsandliz @ybmuG Sigh.
It’s pretty stellar, so I suppose I can unblame just this once.
@Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 I’ll take it!
