Yep. He's said that sunlight creates entropy, which is why things like cars rot away when left in the desert. It's also the cause of aging; the photons are shooting us full of holes all the time. Unless it's cloudy - water vapour can stop high-energy photons.
So, are they saying it's either full on entropy, or full on increase in complexity? There's no concept of "both can occur at the same time" here?
