Why does cigarette smokenever go back into the cigarette? Why do molecules spreadaway from each other? Why does a spilled dropof ink never reform? Because the Universemoves towards a state of dissipation. That is the principle of entropy... The tendency of the Universe to evolve toward a stateof increasing disorder. The principle of entropy is relatedto the arrow of time... A result of the expansionof the Universe. But what will happenwhen gravitational forces counter-balancethe forces of expansion? Or if the energy of the quantum voidproves too weak? At that moment, the universemight enter its phase of contraction. The Big Crunch

Why does cigarette smoke never go back into the cigarette
00:00:05.039 --> 00:00:07.342
Why do molecules spread away from each other
00:00:07.902 --> 00:00:10.253
Why does a spilled drop of ink never reform
00:00:11.019 --> 00:00:15.001
Because the Universe moves towards a state of dissipation
00:00:15.668 --> 00:00:17.365
That is the principle of entropy
00:00:17.066 --> 00:00:19.256
The tendency of the Universe
00:00:19.739 --> 00:00:22.798
to evolve toward a state of increasing disorder
00:00:23.438 --> 00:00:24.787
The principle of entropy
00:00:24.926 --> 00:00:27.613
is related to the arrow of time
00:00:28.154 --> 00:00:30.522
A result of the expansion of the Universe
00:00:30.796 --> 00:00:32.872
But what will happen when gravitational forces
00:00:32.979 --> 00:00:35.049
counter balance the forces of expansion
00:00:36.022 --> 00:00:38.821
Or if the energy of the quantum void proves too weak
00:00:39.581 --> 00:00:43.206
At that moment the universe might enter its phase of contraction
00:00:43.858 --> 00:00:45.001

Movie Summary
A boy stands on a station platform as a train is about to leave. Should he go with his mother or stay with his father? Infinite possibilities arise from this decision. As long as he doesn't choose, anything is possible.
