New Video: The Particle That Breaks Time Symmetry

Most people point to the second law of thermodynamics as the only law of physics that doesn't work the same way forwards and backwards in time. But in this video I explore how a single particle can break time reversal symmetry. I worked on the script and animations for this video for months with my friend Jorge Cham, the creator of PhD comics and his co-author physicist Daniel Whiteson. I'm glad to get to share it with you in time for Christmas in case you want to cancel vacation plans and perform experiments instead ;)

superb presentation ... the mirrored XYZ is a great prop, and we the cartoon-ish images of fried theories :)

To be honest, this went WAY over my head, but I can certainly appreciate all that hard work that you two put into this... it shows!
