I learnt that people associate entropy with disorder. Apparently that's not so true.
Basically things turn to a disordered state with time simply because there are more way of atoms combining in a disordered way than combining in an ordered way?
Not really rocket science when you think of it that way...
Um while this guy is not wrong, he said what I have known for a long time, you have to talk all the laws into account.
But that does not negate itself, the more ordered state at the singularity as compared to less ordered now after 13.8 billion years. But sure you can go from less order to more order.
I was simply having a hard time visualizing the difference. I think Boru's metaphor still works. In Boru's scattered box of marbles example, sure later on "time" can also allow localized order.
