→‎Proximity of Objects: Specifically, order could be quantified as roughly proportional to the inverse of the surface area of the smallest sphere that encloses the objects.

Line 46: Line 46:

This disorder may be what underlies an interpretation of the [[Second Law of Thermodynamics]], or the impossibility perpetual motion machines. The disorder is not well-quantified.

A close proximity of objects is more ordered than distant scattering.

Specifically, order could be quantified as roughly proportional to the inverse of the surface area of the smallest sphere that encloses the objects.

The disorder (entropy) of a hypothetical high-density [[black hole]] is controversial.<ref>http://nrumiano.free.fr/Estars/bh_thermo.html</ref>
