Why do things break, age, collapse, or get messy over time? In this episode of Learn Anything, we dive deep into the Second Law of Thermodynamics—exploring entropy as both a scientific principle and a profound lens for understanding life, time, and decay. From melting ice cubes and aging bodies to broken systems and creative burnout, this episode reveals why disorder is inevitable—and why maintaining order requires constant energy, intelligence, and care. Learn how entropy shapes the universe and your daily life—and how to spot and resist it with a powerful mental model.
