What is Temperature?

The video explores the concept of temperature, starting with its complex definition and moving through simulations of argon atoms to illustrate temperature's correlation with atomic velocity and energy. It delves into the statistical roots of temperature, explaining how energy transfer leads to equilibrium. The video concludes with a discussion on temperature metrics and entropy, highlighting the relationship between energy, possibilities, and temperature.
