- W1585734086 abstract "Entropy is a thermal property of matter, and when real (as opposed to idealised) macroscopic changes take place in the world, the total amount of entropy goes up. It is often said that the rise in entropy is related to the natural tendency for disorder to increase, and while this can sometimes help to develop intuition, it can be misleading. The selection rule imposed by Nature for the choice of macrostate is to maximise the uncertainty. We could perhaps view the second law more positively as a statement about the extraordinary complexity and promise that the universe can offer as it evolves. The growth of entropy is our rationalisation of this complexity. The second law is a reflection of an underlying imperative to mix, share and explore, such that certain macroscopic events happen frequently, because they are nearly inevitable under such circumstances, while others occur more rarely." @default.
