<Voice-over in background>

AUDIO-

Professor looks at the board, keeps everything back in, exits the door and locks it. When language fails to describe; the poetry of mathematics and physics give clarity to the spontaneous events occurring around us. Chaos and entropy are like the yardsticks used to define the beginning and end of any event. Even if everything seems completely arbitrary, always remember-

There is no disorder or random behavior, there are only patterns we do not understand.
