If I read it right, and based on my watching videos of the singularity, scientists are saying that back then, it was more ordered, and now what we observe is less ordered? 

If that is the case, then why do we see now ordered galaxies and solar systems? Or is that a result of expansion creating so much random distance between bodies because of temp differences and cooling?

Whatever you respond with, PLEASE DUMB IT DOWN to a children's party animal balloon metaphor if you can.

Seth Lloyd probably expresses it best: "Entropy is a measure of information".
