    230 million years it takes the solar system to orbit the Milky Way center, and nearby stars mostly co-orbit with our solar system so it's a slow and minor change That said, some stars are fast moving nearby – high "proper motion" stars Here's Barnard's star, 6 light years away

    The first new animation of 2020 is coming within hours It will address the confusion between a 23hr 56m Sidereal Day and the 24hr Solar Day we all know and love

    What to do? Your compass is your discomfort. If you don’t want to meditate, that’s when you need it most. If you’re afraid of a cold plunge, or a sweat lodge, that’s the medicine you need. If you don’t want to say something to a lover or a friend, that’s what you need to say.

    Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough!

    But the entropy of interstellar and intergalactic gas and dust is about 10 times more the entropy of stars! It's about 10^82 bits. And the entropy in all the photons in the Universe is much more! The Universe is full of radiation left over from the Big Bang. (6/n)

    In 2009, Chas Egan and Charles Lineweaver estimated the total entropy of all the stars in the observable Universe at 10^81 bits. You should think of these as qubits: it's the amount of information to describe the quantum state of *everything* in all these stars. (5/n)

    What's the total number of stars in the observable Universe? Estimates go up as telescopes improve. We think there are between 100 and 400 billion stars in the Milky Way. We think there are between 170 billion and 2 trillion galaxies in the Universe. (4/n)

    But as the Universe expands, the distant ancient stars and gas we see have moved even farther away, so they're no longer observable. The so-called "observable Universe" is really the "formerly observable Universe". Its edge is 46.5 billion light years away now! (3/n)

    What's the observable Universe? The further you look out into the Universe, the further you look back in time! You can't see through the hot gas from 380,000 years after the Big Bang. That "wall of fire" marks the limits of the observable Universe. (2/n)

    This zoomable image of the Milky Way shows 84 million stars: But stars contribute only a tiny fraction of the total entropy in the observable Universe. If it's random information you want, look elsewhere! (1/n)

    Here's a consequence of Special Relativity to brighten your Monday— Due to its 220km/sec orbital motion around the milky way, the solar system is now over 1200 years younger than the center of our galaxy. This is time dilation, it *really* happens, it's not science fiction!🕐

    In practice, it's a lot easier to *measure* the entropy of water than to compute it - though still tricky. Starting from there, here's how we compute the information per molecule. Physicists use "nats" of information, but we can convert nats to bits. (5/n)

    You might also worry it would take an infinite amount of information to *exactly* describe the position and velocity of each molecule. This is actually true in classical mechanics! But this problem is solved by the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics. (4/n)

    The Gibbs paradox was solved when we realized molecules of the same kind are perfectly interchangeable: it doesn't make sense to ask which one is where! When you take this into account, the entropy per molecule doesn't depend on the total amount of stuff. (3/n)

    You might think it takes more information to describe a molecule in a swimming pool than in a jug of water, since there are more places it could be. This is called the "Gibbs paradox". If true, the entropy per molecule would depend on the total amount of stuff! (2/n)

    Entropy is the amount of information you don't have about the random details of a system: what you'd need to describe those details. It takes 500 zettabytes to fully describe a gram of liquid water, but a manageable amount per molecule! (1/n)

    When you're out in the park, by a lake, anywhere near/around nature... Do you ever just stop to REALLY look around? at the plants, the birds, the bugs, the sky, listen to the sounds, feel the wind, and think: "Damn, this planet is amazing" 🌍❤ That's a mood.
