Part 7/11:
Historically, the concept of entropy has evolved, particularly through the work of physicists like Rudolf Clausius and Ludwig Boltzmann. Boltzmann’s view introduced a statistical perspective that emphasized entropy as a measure of uncertainty, connecting it to the information contained within a system. This link between entropy and information has profound implications; as the universe evolves, it may actually increase its complexity and information content, suggesting that what we perceive as disorder might simply indicate failures of our understanding.
