    Professor Brian Cox uses the Perito Moreno glacier in Patagonia, Argentina to help explain the Arrow of Time; a concept that tells us why sequences happen in the order they do.

    I'm sure it's very scary to hear in person, but on video the sound of the collapsing is pretty soothing, actually. It's like listening to a thunderstorm.

    • @franciswheatgerm2082
      @franciswheatgerm2082 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      He also taked about something else apart from the ice collapses. Glaciars make a very powerful and distinct sound when they move - also because of all the echoes they trigger. The first time i heard it i was all alone in one of the ice tentacles of Vatnajökull, in Iceland.
      For a very long moment i felt like reality had been stolen away from under my feet. The sound was so strange and unconceivable that i had no common reference to explain it. There was no time, no reason, just a mix of fear and irresistible wonder. It's like a crackling howl, like a mixture between a thunderstorm and a whale chant, that can last for many seconds - from my own humble experience, in one segment of a gigantic glaciar.
      Brian heard it, you can see it in his smile :)

  • @cannedmusic

    I love watching Brian's presentations. It's like watching a kid in a candy store gleefully explain to the workers how candy is made, the hardening point of rock candy and the thermal temperature needed to achieve the crystallization of sugar and corn syrup-how, not enough will result in a somewhat mushy substance whereas too high a temperature can lead to burnt flavor or candy that's too brittle and won't harden properly, how it only takes one or two degrees of temperature to differentiate between the two temperatures, sometimes...and then, out of nowhere a team of Ice Warriors pop up from one of the glaciers and take Prof. Cox captive.

    This guy is fantastic. He makes physics accessible by employing these amazing explanations that use our natural world as a prop, albeit a beautiful one. Hats off to the BBC for supporting these sorts of programs. BTW, is there really any need for anyone to disparage or get competitive with other countries about their documentary content? Really?! There are wonderful documentaries made the world over by people just as dedicated and talented as Brian Cox, so let's enjoy them.

    From what I could make out,

    In other words,
    Universe likes disorder and time moves in direction of entropy increase.

    Time exists because of a singularity that occurred billions of years ago (the big bang). Before that, our entire universe was smaller than a pin prick but contained all of space, time and matter. It is the most highly ordered state known to science (or you could say it had the lowest entropy ever known).
    Then something happened inside our tiny, highly ordered universe that gave particles mass. We don't yet know exactly why it happened yet (possibly due to a very slight imbalace/spin in the universe's highly ordered particles interacting with the Higgs field) but we do know that it gave birth to both time and space, releasing incomprehensible amounts of energy in the process.
    The energy, motion, time and space created all move from a highly ordered state to a lower ordered state and eventually all energy space and time will dissipate from the unvierse. Entropy calculates that this is the most overwhelmingly probable outcome.
    At that point, all possible past present and futures will coexist simultaneously and time will have no meaning.
    So it's true to say that entropy and therfore time do exist but the past, present and future are just explanations of how we humans perceive the universal forces that change matter to a less ordered state.
    Its just dumb humans... observing entropy... relative to us.

    I think, we don't see things in reverse because of the laws of physics not because time goes in one direction. At some point some things may appear as happening in reverse but the same rules hold as before.
    The world is a made of fields that propagate like waves and interfere or interact and emerge or collapse.

    The universe does move from order to disorder. He talks of the "endless cycle of life" because the unimaginable scale of time makes it seem as if it is endless. The "heat death" of the Universe will theoretically happen in ten trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion years. Human beings can't really comprehend that amount of time.

    @daeamarth Part of the whole deal is that the entire universe is aging irreversibly. It's not a continual cycle. Eventually the galaxies will drift apart and no galaxy will be able to see any other galaxy. Stars will generally all become old and cold, with very few new stars born. You could say that even now we are at the stage of the universe where no new galaxies are formed, they only collide to form amalgamations, and one day even that will stop.

    3:47 This confused me a bit. Sure, there's no law in physics saying "water molecules can't move away from the centre of the Earth" but they can't just spontaneously do that because they'd be moving from a low energy state to a high energy state; it would require a source of energy to make that happen. I know that's kind of his point but it's just a weird way of expressing it. He makes it sound like "ice doesn't fly because entropy"... well no, ice doesn't fly because gravity.
