Entropy

    Since a finite universe is an isolated system, the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that its total entropy is constantly increasing. It has been speculated, since the 19th century, that the universe is fated to a heat death in which all the energy ends up as a homogeneous distribution of thermal energy, so that no more work can be extracted from any source.

    In other words the universe will eventually become a cold dark void of nothingness.:)

    What more order could you get than a singular isolated system?

    True entropy means an infinite number of isolated universes.

    A poster over on the EV forum denies that the laws of thermodynamics apply to EVs

    Will he live forever ?
