| Description | We all recognize that there are certain physical laws woven into the universe. Foremost among them is the Law of Gravity. Just as gravity's incessant pull cannot be avoided, so too is the Second Law of Thermodynamics, also known as “entropy.” If the concept is unfamiliar, let me spare you the trip to Wikipedia. Entropy is about decay; that it is simply the natural order for things to fall apart. Isaac Asimov (Asimov 1970) explained: The universe is constantly getting more disorderly! Viewed that way we can see the second law all about us. We have to work hard to straighten a room, but left to itself it becomes a mess again very quickly and very easily. Even if we never enter it, it becomes dusty and musty. How difficult to maintain houses, and machinery, and our own bodies in perfect working order: how easy to let them deteriorate. In fact, all we have to do is nothing, and everything deteriorates, collapses, breaks down, wears out, all by itself – and that is what the second law is all about.
