In all of physical law, there’s arguably no principle more sacrosanct than the second law of thermodynamics — the notion that entropy, a measure of disorder, will always stay the same or increase. “If ...

Entropy is behind one of the most fundamental laws of physics. Entropy is surely one of the most perplexing concepts in physics. It’s variously described as a measure of a system’s disorder - or as ...
