Illustration Friday topic: "E is for -"
E is for Entropy
The 'Second Law of Thermodynamics' says all complex systems
inevitably become disordered.
Physicist James Clerk Maxwell suggested a tiny 'Demon' sorting
hot and cold particles could defeat the law.
Of course to observe and divide particles would also take energy.
'Time's Arrow' leads to the decay of our bodies and the much - debated fate of the universe.
Big Crunch (collapse)
Slow Fade
Big Freeze (eternal expansion)

And life itself creates complexity from very simple cells.
Rules are made to be broken.
