What Happens When You Die?" | Feynman on Atoms, Energy, and Immortality

Описание: Your body is made of atoms that don't age.
Carbon doesn't get wrinkles. Oxygen doesn't forget things. A hydrogen atom from a dying star four billion years ago looks exactly the same today.
So here's the puzzle: if the parts don't break down, why does the whole thing fall apart?
This seems obvious at first — things just wear out, right? But when you look closer, when you actually examine the physics, you discover something strange. The laws governing atoms are perfectly reversible. Past and future look the same at the molecular level. There's no arrow pointing toward decay.
And yet decay happens. Every time. Without exception.
In this video, we explore the second law of thermodynamics through Feynman's eyes — not as an abstract formula, but as the deep explanation for mortality itself. We build from shuffled cards and mixing cream to the thermodynamics of living systems, drawing on ideas from Feynman's Caltech lectures and Schrödinger's landmark book "What is Life?" to understand how organisms fight entropy, and why that fight inevitably ends.

⚡Richard Feynman had a genius for making complex physics simple. In this video, we break down why everything spins using his approach—starting with the Moon orbiting Earth and building to the rotation of entire galaxies.
