The Entropy Law

The Entropy Law, often associated with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, states that in an isolated system, disorder or randomness tends to increase over time. This means processes naturally progress toward more disorganized states unless energy is added to maintain order. For example, heat flows from hot to cold objects, and unused energy disperses. The law highlights that maintaining order requires effort and energy input, and over time, systems move toward greater chaos unless work counteracts this tendency. It underpins many natural phenomena and explains why certain processes are irreversible.
