The concept of entropy—commonly understood as “disorder”—was developed in the 19th century by Sadi Carnot and Rudolf Clausius, who were searching for the most efficient way to convert ...

Quite clearly, the Universe today is much cooler, larger, more full-of-structure and non-uniform. But we can actually quantify the entropy of the Universe at both times, at the moment of the Big ...

Typically, as entropy increases, disorder increases, reaches a peak, and then decreases again. This is how our universe works too. At the start, the universe had no entropy and was very simple.

The universe is getting more disordered, entropy is growing -- this is the second law of thermodynamics. But according to quantum theory, entropy should actually stay the same. Scientists took a ...
