| ENTROPY, ALIENS AND THE MULTIVERSE |

The speaker will describe the entropy budget of the universe and several entropy problems: the initial entropy problem, the relationship between gravity and entropy and the entropy gap problem. He will also discuss the origin and evolution of life on Earth and what that knowledge suggests about life elsewhere in a possibly infinite universe. |
