Generation

The second law of thermodynamics establishes that entropy (disorder) in an isolated system always increases over time, defining the arrow of time and why certain processes are irreversible. It explains why heat flows from hot to cold, why engines can never be 100% efficient, and why organized systems naturally tend toward disorder. This fundamental principle governs everything from the behavior of molecules to the fate of the universe.
