What are years... and the galactic supermassive black hole!
It's leap year time... so what are years, anyway? And what do they have to do with the supermassive black hole in the core of the milky way?

Their images/animations were created by Prof. Andrea Ghez and her research team at UCLA and are from data sets obtained with the W. M. Keck Telescopes.
(and I must note that the images included in this video are of simulated accuracy based on anticipated upgrades to the interferometry system - the current real images are equally impressive but slightly less clear: http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~ghezgroup/gc/pictures/Future_GCorbits.shtml )

This video is about the difference between complexity and entropy, and how complex things like life can arise from disorder. Thanks to Google Making and Science for supporting this series, and to Sean Carroll for collaborating on it! His book can be found here: http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/316646/the-big-picture-by-sean-carroll/

This video is about the difference between complexity and entropy, and how we can see complex things like life, planets, galaxies, humans, intelligence, consciousness, etc arising in our universe when the overall tendency of the second law of thermodynamics is towards increasing entropy and disorder. It turns out that gravitational collapse & other complex structures (such as tendrils that form when coffee and milk mix) arise naturally as part of the path towards increasing entropy.
