An omelette turning back into an egg; cold water in a glass being separated into ice cubes and warm water; chopped up wood coming back together to form the trunk of the tree from which it was cut. As common sense dictates, it is impossible for these processes to occur. That is, you cannot convert a disordered state of things into ordered ones. The magic word here is entropy, or the state of things. There is even a law for it – the second law of Thermodynamics. According to it, the entropy of any irreversible process can never decrease. It always either stays constant, or increases.<\/p>\n
What does entropy mean exactly? In layman\u2019s terms, entropy is a state of disorder and unpredictability. When a perfume is sprayed in one corner of a room, it gradually spreads across it. The perfume hence goes from an ordered state, to an unordered one. That is, there is an increase in entropy. In fact, entropy is what governs all the natural processes that occur in the Universe. It is said that the entropy of the Universe is increasing. But then again, increase in entropy means increase in chaos. This gives rise to the question – is the universe ruled by chaos then?<\/p>\n
