I had an art teacher who was very philosophical. One day he described to the class what entropy was. I took a lot of physics and even astrophysics. Little did i know he had a better conceptual understanding and explanation than i've ever heard before. Too bad i don't remember exactly what he said.

In art, a high-entropy painting is one that would be hard to tell apart from similar paintings, one example being paintings created by simply splattering paints all over the canvas.

Not to poke holes in your nostalgia, but how do you know he had a great explanation if you don’t remember it after further study?

  "Don't try to understand it, feel it" - from tenet, but does sort of apply to entropy as a way of looking at problems. That being said I heard a sports science student try to recall their working definition of entry and it was some mess of locks and keys floating around randomly hitting eachother?

    > definition of entry and it was some mess of locks and keys floating around randomly hitting eachother? Locks and keys does indeed sound like "entry". I thought we were discussing "entropy".
