ELI5-What is entropy?
In: 1763
Imagine you’re in a room. In this room every molecule of air is evenly spaced apart like a grid. It doesn’t naturally stay this way, the particles will move and change direction and get out of order.
There’s that one way to be organized, but trillions upon trillions of ways it can be unorganized. So, naturally, the room will tend towards the unorganized.
This tendency is called entropy.
