But in my op, I was trying to understand, that it seems the way I understand it, at the singularity, there was more order, and as inflation took place and the universe expanded there is now less order and more localized order?
Well as for perpetual motion yes, you are spot on. As Mathilda pointed out there will always be a loss of energy and this alone makes perpetual motion an impossibility. As to how entropy applies to cosmology, I think that's a big ask. I think it best to concentrate on as simplified model of cosmology as is suitable. By that I mean entropy as it applies to the various models of how the universe works is serious, heavy, duty, shit, and best left to those who understand it, I certainly don't. I'm quite happy to stick to my Stellar Nucleosynthesis. Utterly fascinating
And star formation. Genesis 3:9
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
