Will humans eventually develop to the point where they can stop the entropy of the universe and bring order to it?

That doesn't seem likely. At least, no mechanism is known that will make that possible, even with advanced technology.

What is an example of decrease?
This is a trick question, because in the world as we know it, entropy never decreases, since the chance of this happening approaches and infinitely small fraction. To answer the question though: Take any closed system of events that you've observed, and rewind the events as if you were "going back in time". Example: An egg the has splattered all of a sudden recombines off the floor and becomes a whole egg again. Some scientists believe that the last time entropy ever decreased in our universe was right before the big bang. Since this chance occurrence, entropy throughout the whole universe has been steadily increasing. My addition (person 2) - However, entropy CAN decrease locally, just not universally. Essentially entropy rests on the fact that work ultimately comes from a flow of heat energy from high to low, eventually balancing out. Once all the heat energy is uniform in the universe, we will experience "heat death" at which point no work will be able to be done. However, in systems WITHIN the closed system of the universe, entropy CAN be decreased. Freezing an ice cube, if you follow the entropy equation which I don't have with me, is one example of this. The cost of this local decrease in entropy is a universal increase in entropy from the heat released that is greater than the local decrease in entropy, thus the second law is not violated. Another example is biological growth. We humans develop from a single cell into a vastly complex arrangement of cells, but at the same time we produce heat that increases universal entropy more than our bodies decrease it.
Can humans power up?
No they can't. Because the humans are the weakest in the universe. There are greater beings in the universe.
What does grow and develop?
humans

Can humans develop into aquatic people?
No
If The Big Crunch were a reality and IF our universe started contracting RIGHT NOW how would it affect life here on Earth?
There would be no noticeable effect on daily life, or on the environment as humans perceive it. That's why it took so long to realize the expansion of the universe, and to develop the notion of the Big Bang.
Who changed the way humans viewed the universe?
Gallileo
How many alien races are in the Wildstorm Universe?
There are trillions of alien races (excluding humans) in the WildStorm Universe.
Why humans use horses?
Humans have used horses for centuries for varying reasons. In the beginning, they were a food source, then eventually became a mode of transportation, after that they began to help develop land for building and planting of crops. They were also used for war as transport, and draft animals. Eventually horse became more of a pet and are now widely used for equine sports.
When did Hinduism began?
When humans started asking questions about the universe.
When were humans living in caves?
Humans have lived in caves for thousands of years, with evidence of cave dwellings dating back to the Paleolithic era, around 2.6 million years ago. However, as humans began to develop more advanced tools and technologies, they eventually transitioned to building more permanent structures above ground.
Where do young develop in bears?
Womb like humans
