Entropy - 'Undetonate' (from Nitrogen Triiodide Detonation)

Still Images

When nitrogen triodide detonates, the products are explosively produced and distributed. The process is shown in reverse. The products of the explosion of nitrogen triiodide "assemble themselves" to form the original system as it was before the explosion. The situation shown is so highly improbable that we would not expect to observe it in nature.
