Description: Presents Nobel Prize winner Professor George Porter who lectures on the second law of thermodynamics, which states that every system which is left to itself will, on the average, change towards a position of maximum probability. Shows that the inevitable increase of disorder implies an irreversible trend toward total chaos, but cautions against an extrapolation from the disorder of molecular motion to the chaos of the cosmos.
