Entropy Management: 108 Ways ~ The Thermodynamic Side of Life

Weekly words about spontaneous mess, disorder, and thermodynamics in daily life.

“Entropy is the answer to everything.”

Stated by one of my colleagues recently, this is the latest entropy wisdom to get caught in my ears and brain. He was referring to a chemical synthesis. And here I am, pondering broader wisdom.

Entropy is defined as disorder, or chaos, and the thing is…the universe will make its entropy as large as possible. As we mind our own business, entropy of everything constantly increases. Constantly. This concept is as fundamental as the Big Bang.

So, any endeavors for wee little bitty participants in the vast universe that favor entropy – more options, more chaos, more disarray – we’re going with the universe. Why not?
​
Because sometimes we have to quiet down, eat, and clean up the mess. Our entire lives are a push-pull with our friend entropy. Sometimes we’re going along with it, and other times we’re counteracting it so we can walk unencumbered through the house.
There will be more here…as the entropic mess of thought in my brain can be channeled into coherence. I've managed a few articles and blog posts (and if you’re paying attention…circular referencing that will soon be less circular) Meanwhile, feel free to check out the entropy reduction techniques found in Yoga Nidra and my Classes and Workshops offerings.
