- thanatos519 3y agoI've been saying this for years! Glad somebody was able to ... make a paper out of it.
- Fezzik 3y agoThis seems like a specific application of the observed entropic principles that cosmologists have been espousing for a while. It leaves off the fun part to make itself a law though - all evidence indicates that we are headed towards a state of universe-wide low entropy/low complexity where everything is just radiation. Everything is a Bell Curve. Edit: ‘evidence’ was probably too strong of a word and should have been something like ‘generally/widely accepted models’ instead.
