In this talk, Dr. Sean Carroll will show how simplicity/complexity is a distinct idea from order/disorder about the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the entropy of the universe, and suggest how complexity can naturally develop between the Big Bang and today, before eventually fading away in the far future.
The R. Jack and Forest Lynn Biard Cosmology and Astrophysics Lecture is an annual series of lectures created and endowed by a generous estate gift by the late Captain Forrest R. Biard, U.S. Navy. Free and open to the public, these annual lectures bring recognized speakers at the forefront of cosmology and astrophysics research to campus for the benefit of the university and central Ohio community.
