| - | Entropy is a measure of chaos or randomness in a system. An important property of entropy is that it increases over time. In practice that every system gets more chaotic over time unless we use energy to bring it into order. | + | Entropy is a measure of chaos or randomness in a system.

| An explanation for this steady increase of entropy is that there are far more possible states of high entropy than there are states of low entropy. | An explanation for this steady increase of entropy is that there are far more possible states of high entropy than there are states of low entropy. | ||
