How will the universe move toward entropy?

Answer 1

Actually its a bit Controversial, when we say Entropy, alot of things come into picture. So U just can't say Entropy is increasing.

But in accordance with 2nd law of thermodynamics, it is true.

U have to consider a particular system and its surroundings, then study its stability and Entropy.

Answer 2

We use "entropy of the universe" or Suniv. as a phrase that means the sum of all the entropy. This is useful when we describe the spontaneity of a reaction - a reaction will be spontaneous when Suniv. increases.

The total entropy of the Universe is clearly increasing but the theory of the entropic death remain not sure.

Answer 3

In simple terms, the entropy, or disorder, in the universe is always increasing. As for how, well it's one of those things you get or don't get. There can be times when the system is decreasing entropy but the surroundings are increasing entropy and things like that, but no matter what the entropy of the system (universe) as a whole is always increasing. The easiest way to understand would be to look at some common chemical equations. The most obvious is a solid or liquid going to a gas because gas molecules are more random/disorderly and they tend to be smaller and in their "pure" forms so more molecules are made which also leads to increased entropy. Basically there's no one answer, you'll just have to study all the different possible cases. There are less obvious entropy equations as well. Other things like temperature and pressure can affect entropy too.

Answer 5

That would be the implication of the second law of thermodynamics.
