entropy as in a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.

Or as in lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder.

I thought I answered this in the great dissolution mechanic when everything just falls apart and becomes a universe spanning super-soup-wave of energy.

Of course I am no scientist. Just a fellow with a few random thoughts bouncing around in the old brain case. So it is not surprising if I may have missed a few spots. If you care to elaborate on a solution to that point I would love to hear it.

Thanks for sharing and I'm so very glad you enjoyed it. <3

    Nice! Yeah I see where you're coming from. You have a scientific way of imagining things, romanticized though it may be.

    In the most straightforward and simplest of ways, your imagination could be (more or less) correct. However I think it starts to get a little more fun when you realize entropy's relationship with the physics of an ever-expanding universe is potentially a bit more complex with some fascinating questions.

    As you noted, entropy mainly has to do with thermodynamics. However the universe has other dynamics at play, not the least of which is gravity itself. Not to mention we still don't have a complete understanding of the interplay of relationships between dark matter, gravity and entropy.

    I think you might really like the theories of emergent gravity and space-time. Here's a good Wired article about it: https://www.wired.com/beyond-the-beyond/2016/12/gravity-actually-entropy-dark-matter-doesnt-exist-etc/

    Thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading the article. And what better balance is there then heart and head, science and romance. If you got that from my post then I consider it a Great Success!

    Yeah we also have electromagnetic interactions, things redshifting into oblivion, and all sorts of quanta stuff going on. But I didn't want to delve TOO deep and lose the casual observer.

    Its a delicate balance, and some of that stuff I am not really qualified to go into. (pretty much all of it)

    Thanks for sharing and engaging, much love. <3
