The Second Law of Thermodynamics is incontrovertible:
entropy is always
increasing. Order must give way to disorder;
chaos will inevitably triumph over organization.
Things
fall apart. The center cannot hold. It's as true for the
bacon
sizzling on the stove as it is for a supernova engulfing
an unknown galaxy: everything –
everything everywhere –
is falling apart. New Year's Eve provides a useful case in
point
for the student of physics: what begins with the careful
mixing of neatly-proportioned cocktails
cannot help but devolve
into fervid swillng straight from the Boodle's bottle. It can't be
helped.
It's the law: the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
