- I've often read that thermodynamic entropy is some measure of disorder, so that tyding up our rooms means working against the second law of thermodynamics. For example, in section 9.3 of his book Space, Time and Quanta, Robert Mills demonstrates that if we put 10^20 toys back on the shelf, that decreases the total cosmic entropy by 0.02 J/K. He then suggests that this doesn't actually violate the second law because in the process of putting back the toys we use up energy and thereby increase total entropy by much more than 0. |
