Stated in physics terminology, the Second Law states that the [[entropy]] of an isolated or [[closed system]] never decreases.<ref>Much of this article could be considered to be a continuation of the [[thermodynamics]] article, which see. That article provides some historical background, along with an explanation of the relationship between the Second Law and the increase in entropy.</ref> | Stated in physics terminology, the Second Law states that the [[entropy]] of an isolated or [[closed system]] never decreases.<ref>Much of this article could be considered to be a continuation of the [[thermodynamics]] article, which see.
