Understanding "Entropy" - by TPO
- by TPO -
[Understanding "Entropy", the concept, its beginnings, methods and relevance in our Universe]
Divergent thinking: the ability to explore many different avenues and solutions to a problem in a spontaneous and non-orderly fashion.
Convergent thinking, by contrast, is the more logical and orderly step-by-step approach to a problem.
CHANGE ===> a synthesis of convergence and divergence, working together in symphony. The German physicist Rudolf Clausius (born 1822) ... coined the term entropy as a quantitative measure of disorder. The word comes from the Greek ἐν (en), meaning ‘in’, and τροπή (tropē), meaning ‘transformation’. It is the increase of entropy that is linked to transformation, movement, change in the world. The more disorder, the more entropy.
Order inevitably yields to disorder, and entropy increases until it cannot increase any further. It is this movement that drives the world. Clean rooms become dusty. Temples slowly crumble. As we grow older, bones grow brittle. Stars eventually burn out, emptying their hot energy into the coldness of space – but while doing so, they provide warmth and life to surrounding planets. We live off this relentless increase of disorder.
