Hey Vsauce, Micheal here! I just robbed a bank... Or did I? What defines "Robbing"? I took 24 hostages and stole 69 million USD.
That’s so good
I temporarily forgot that I'm in a Vsauce video and thought you were talking about Michael de Santa.

Its very amusing to see that what I learned last year in school as laws of thermodynamics , entropy ,enthalpy are bases of many theories and I can actually start to understand the world more efficiently, it gives me motivation to dive even deeper in the depths of physics and chemistry

@@randzrubiales4273 First, let's find out what it means to be human. [Explanation] In conclusion, snails are the centre of the universe.
That made me think of the universe's entropy. As the entropy must increase, and the galaxies, stars and black holes holds it together, the only way the universe could maintain it is by expanding faster and faster. By expanding, the universe can maintain the expanding overall entropy. Which means that when galaxies, stars and black holes die out, it will inevitably reverse the expansion again in order to maintain entropy.

Finally some good arguments to those who complain about my laziness.... Eh I'm not sure they will understand thermodynamics so it's probably useless to try and explain that to them, it would take too much precious energy to do so.

"Newton's flaming laser sword" That is the coolest philosophical thing I have ever heard.
It is very cool actually
illyounotme Yeah. It suggests: Let's just get rid of all of mathematics, logic, computer science's basis, theoretical physics, legal studies, social studies, economics, sociology, language studies, and half of philosophy. In fact. One could even argue the hard sciences wouldn't make any sense if it was true. Since the hard sciences necessarily require us to come to an agreement on specific unfalsifiable debates before we start them. Who decided that unfalsifiable claims are not worthy of debate and on what basis? Who decided that scientific method X is superior to scientific method Y and why? Is this falsifiable empirically? No. It's a value judgment.
Ryan Hutton scientists probably laugh their ass of if they hear you talk.
Thats because it was named by a philosopher who was also a mathematician
