Entropy explanation?
I have somewhat of an incomplete understanding of it, and I’ve been trying to find a way to adequately and understandably define it in a sentence or two; but that’s pretty tricky (at least for me.)
You could say that entropy is a measure of disorder, in a sense, but that’s not entirely correct. Brian Cox explains it very intuitively in this video though, it’s about 5 minutes, and definitely worth it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQSoaiubuA0

I thought the actual definition was that entropy was a measure of the amount of times a system can be re-ordered without changing its function/pattern etc…
