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.
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.
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.

That would be the implication of the second law of thermodynamics.
second law of thermodynamics
Disorder
The entropy of the universe is increasing
Entropy
It's not that entropy can't be reversed, it's that the entropy of the universe is always increasing. That means that while you can reduce the entropy of something, the entropy of another thing must go up even more so that in total, the entropy goes up.
Insufficient data for meaningful answer
Disorder
You can not
There is always an increase in the entropy of the universe.
Entropy has to do with everything. The Laws of thermodynamics govern everything in the known universe.
Assuming you mean can entropy be reduced; the answer is yes. Only in an open system such as our planet. The universe is a closed systems. The entropy of the universe cannot be reduced. Chemical changes can reduced entropy in an open system. When gas turns into a liquid or when a liquid turns into a solid; entropy is reduced.

It is called entropy, the second law of thermodynamics.Horse Isle Answer: entropy
