   Entropy is an orthogonal to Einstein's laws of physics. Both newtons and Einstein's description of the universe are time reversable. The physics are valid independent of the direction of time. Entropy is literally a separate obser

   No. A force is the correct characterization. Entropy is indeed a force with a singular direction. Can you explain why does entropy perpetually increase? Additionally explain what happens if we reverse time, does your intuition of entropy st

   Energy should never be used to introduce entropy as the concept of energy itself is highly, highly complicated and abstract. Entropy and energy are orthogonal anyway. You can understand entropy without the need to even use the word "en

   The most intuitive explanation of entropy ever: entropy is a fancy way of explaining probability. Things with higher probability tend to occur over things of lower probability. Thus when certain aspects of the world like configurations of g

   I don't think this delivers the intuition in a simple manner. It's also not fully correct. People explain entropy in over complicated ways and even in this thread many people explaining it don't get it. There is a simple way
