gravitational entropy

Gravitational entropy refers to the measure of disorder or complexity within a gravitational system. Unlike entropy in gases, which increases as particles spread out evenly, gravitational entropy increases when matter clumps together into structures like stars, galaxies, and black holes. These formations represent a higher state of gravitational disorder, as gravity causes matter to concentrate, creating complex, dense regions. As the universe evolves, the overall gravitational entropy tends to grow, reflecting the increasing complexity and structure in the cosmos over time.
