  1. Beyond explaining the concept of entropy, this video also gives me a satisfying answer to how the universe started. If you roll a set of 5 dies, it is very unlikely that you'll roll 1 ones, but as anyone who plays yahtzee will tell you, it will still happen every so often. So, the satisfying explanation (to me) is that after the big bang, we (the universe) will spend eons on very likely states, but will eventually go back into a highly improbable state, and from there, a new big bang might happen. We are just one of the executions of the random rolls of life.

  2. This is crazy, almost sounds like you're using a negative base. Like the 3-adic numbers would be base -3... incredible that such a thing is actually useful and not just a thought experiment!!
