“Nor public flame, nor private, dares to shine;
Nor human spark is left, nor glimpse divine!
Lo! thy dread empire, Chaos! is restored;
Light dies before thy uncreating word:
Thy hand, great Anarch! lets the curtain fall;
And universal darkness buries all.”
Nope, life fights entropy – Living organisms, usually cope with entropy, because they take energy into the body in the form of food, whereas in the case of plants, in the form of photosynthesis, and at the same time, during this process, some energy is given out, or some energy may be wasted.
What does entropy mean? How does a living organism cope with entropy?
What does entropy mean? How does a living organism cope with entropy?. Ans: Hint: Entropy is the variable, which is generally used to tell about of the disorder of the system, or it can also be defined as the amount of energy that is available in the…
"Entropy: The Ultimate Thermodynamics Game" by Azhmodai It's the ultimate game and you're already playing, whether you want to or not! You can't win. You can't break even. You can't even quit the game.
Law isn’t order – Anarchy isn’t chaos – Entropy isn’t disorder. Stop over-simplifying things. Check the entropy site if you want to get all heated up about it. How cool is this?
The concept of entropy developed in response to the observation that a certain amount of functional energy released from combustion reactions is always lost to dissipation or friction and is thus not transformed into useful work. Early heat-powered engines such as Thomas Savery’s (1698), the Newco... Read more

Your life sucks ordered energy from the sun, and burns it off as disordered heat, so a true enough idea/theory/hypothesis https://youtu.be/k-vm3ZWnMWk

I bet Sean Carroll has this game ready for the next lock-down.
Entropy may not be what it used to be, but order can come back to where it once was. As above, so below. So it goes!
Want!
No such thing as a closed system. That’s a spherical cow, physicists milk due to their thirst for knowledge. Cheers!

Me: when did entropy begin? Google/Wikipedia: In the 1850s.
