In this conversation, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice discuss the second law of thermodynamics and how life on Earth seemingly defies entropy — the natural trend toward disorder. Neil explains that Earth maintains order and complexity because it’s not a closed system; sunlight provides a continuous energy flow that sustains life. He uses an example of a sealed glass ecosystem to illustrate how life depends on external energy. The discussion ends humorously as Chuck connects entropy to food, metabolism, and death.
