——————————————————-
This experimental animated documentary bridges the discovery of fire by Homo Erectus—half a million years ago—with the principles of thermodynamics. It explores how fire and the birth of the scientific method propelled humanity into a new era, all while unraveling the fundamental laws of thermodynamics.

Enthropy is chaos.
Just because our ancestors discovered fire doesn’t mean you can sit back and relax. You have to find it again—because fire is something that can always go out.
Because of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
C’est la vie.
