Susskind's Law

Susskind's Law suggests that if the universe has varying possible configurations or states, the most probable state is the one with the greatest number of microstates—that is, the highest entropy or disorder. In essence, systems tend to evolve toward the most statistically likely arrangement, which corresponds to maximum entropy. This principle underpins why processes naturally move toward disorder over time and helps explain the arrow of time in cosmology and physics. It emphasizes that, in the grand scheme, the universe's evolution favors states with the greatest diversity of microscopic arrangements.
