- W4387028644 abstract "Although entropyEntropy originated as a thermodynamicThermodynamics concept, its reach extends across many other disciplines including biology, economics, and information theoryInformation theory, and indeed across life itself. We call for “order in the court” and despair when our devices are “out of order” or when we face a medical “disorder.” A quantitative example illustrates the tendency for a room to become disordered: there are many more ways to mess up a room than to arrange it in an orderly fashion. Importantly, more effort must be expended—workWork must be done—to keep a room orderly than to allow it to descend into disorder: an orderly room, an orderly house—order anywhere—all require devoted attention and regular maintenance. The tendency for the universe to slide naturally towards disorder requires the expenditure of energy to create order, stability, and structure. Without effort, things decay and are bound to go wrong. The apparent paradox of the origin and evolutionEvolution of life, exquisitely ordered complex structures thriving in a background of disorder, dissipationDissipation, and degeneration—order in a universe ruled by disorder—is resolved when it is realized that living organisms exchange energy and material with their environment, and thus are not closed systemsClosed system to which the Second LawSecond Law of ThermodynamicsSecond LawSecond Law of Thermodynamics applies: the entropyEntropy decrease within a particular organism is more than offset by a greater entropyEntropy increase in the rest of the universe." @default.
