However, the second law of thermodynamics is statistical, so although [[entropy]] tends to increase, it can decrease. The reason entropy decrease is not seen in everyday life is because it is much more likely to increase, rather than decrease. Supposing the lifespan [[universe]] was infinite, then eventually there would be a point where [[entropy]] would decrease to its minimum possible value, and then the universe would effectively start again.
