I don't get it, could you elaborate further?
By that premise, isn't creation just another form of destruction, just arbitrarily more complex because we see it that way?
To put it another way, someone, somewhere once said that luck was people taking probability personally.
- endtime 16y agoNo single given state of the universe is more likely than any other single state, but very few states are actually interesting. Here's an analogy: If you were to generate a random bitmap, there's a possibility it could look like the Mona Lisa, or a picture of Obama tapdancing next to Churchill, or the exact schematics of Iran's Natanz nuclear facility...but it will almost certainly just look like random noise, because that's what the vast majority of states are. If you start from an interesting state and make random changes to it over time, obviously you'll tend towards a random state. And as I described above, randomly selecting a state has a high probability of yielding an uninteresting state.
- Throwaway74 16y agoSo, given that the universe is mostly made up by randomness and noise, anything path to noisiness is easier than a path to order ? Is this a fair way of putting it?
