Any system can cheat entropy as long as it's not a closed system, by decreasing locally but increasing it globally. Life is a good example.

- mirceal 5y agolife and information are good examples, yes. i sometimes wonder if our understanding of physics is somewhat limited to what we can see/observe/measure (include instruments here) and wonder if the laws of physics as we perceive them are only a set of laws that are not necessarily universal and apply anywhere where matter exists (that a long way of saying that maybe entropy comes with only one set of laws of physics that just so happens to be the ones that we are experiencing right now)
