'''Entropy''' is the tendency of everything to trend toward greater disorder, in the absence of intelligent intervention.

The [[second law of thermodynamics]] states that entropy will never decrease over time within a [[closed system]], defining a closed system as one in which neither matter nor energy may enter or leave.<ref>As first postulated by Lazare Carnot in 1803, entropy is the thermodynamic property which trends toward equilibrium.</ref>
