    That analogy makes more sense. Thanks for sticking with me.

    I still don’t get the online people who talk about Entropy as if it is some force that dooms things, but I do better understand the basic physics I think. Thanks.

    But… Also while I get it was an analogy, human action like launching probes into space is pretty entropic. All that stuff was ordered in a solid glove orbiting a star, and now it’s been all jumbled up into a bizzare state and flung way away from it’s place of order. So life itself is a high entropy way of generating low entropy?

    But isn’t that balance a more ordered state?

    I’m sorry about any implied sentience, obviously Entropy isn’t a thing with an agenda. Though I do feel the need to point out that our sun is far too small to go supernova.
