A broken plate,symbolising the concept of entropy. The second law of thermodynamics states that a closed system will always tend to a higher entropy (less ordered state) unless provided with energy. Thus,over time,things break or decay. A broken plate will not spontaneously mend itself,as this decreases entropy. This concept has been used to explain our perception of time only going in one direction | |
