>one, the universe will not remain in the state of perfect spheres of stars and planets, it will eventually end up in a radiation and fundamental particle soup as all complex particles decay and the universe’s expansion overrides gravity. Right, that's a technicality. Before that happens my statements about entropy apply. >Plus, you’re not looking at the whole picture: a random gas cloud has potential energy, while the spherical object it collapses into has much less-the increase in order means that heat and other disorder is produced in the process, which leaves the system. So the universe automatically divides itself into solid spheres and excess heat radiation? Sounds like a type of organization to me. Keep in mind, according to the definition of Entropy, as the universe transforms itself into this state, it is STILL transforming into a state of higher entropy. I am not talking about energy exiting or entering the system. I am saying in a closed system, particles condensing into spherical planets is a transformation from a low entropy state to a high entropy state. Spherical planets are a high entropy form of disorder according to the definition of entropy. You'd know this if you truly understood entropy. This is very different from something like life on a closed system like earth, where energy is continuously fed into the system then dissipated... overall lowering the entropy of earth but increasing entropy of the universe overall...
