What is the Purpose of Life? (Big Picture Ep. 5/5)

The video explores the concept of entropy and its relationship with life and stars. It explains how living organisms, through processes like photosynthesis and ATP production, transform energy and increase entropy. The origin of life is discussed in the context of entropy, suggesting that life may have arisen from complex chemical reactions in low entropy environments. The video also draws parallels between life and stars, highlighting how both contribute to the universe's increasing entropy.
