You know how your earphones seem to get tangled a lot?

It’s all about statistics. Your earphones have more ways to be tangled than untangled, therefore they will more often than not become tangled.

Why is that special? Because it shows a one-way tendency, a natural “push” from one state to another. That’s entropy.
