The heat-death of the universe.

I was trying to explain this to my sister – or at least, the concept that everything is finite (we have *very* strange conversations), but I cannot explain it to save my life. What’s a good way of explaining entropy and the basics of thermodynamics to a layperson?

Everything tries to move into an equal state. Eventually all of the energy will disperse into the universe. Stars will die, turn into whatever they’re next stage is. Eventually those will also fully die and have nothing left. Blackholes will eventually disappear.

Everything will be so spread out evenly through the universe there will be no way to make energy anymore and thus the universe will be dead.
