"Most people are familiar with entropy as a measure of 'disorder', but the most useful definition of entropy is simply the number of different ways a bunch of particles can arrange themselves."

My understanding of molecular physics is not very sophisticated. I find this fascinating nonetheless. We're always working towards a fundamental understanding of how the world works.
