According to the second law of thermodynamics, as an "isolated" system, the entropy of the universe increases with the flow of time, sliding from order to chaos.

For example, an untidy room will only get messier, not more tidy. A large number of beans of different colors are mixed together and stirred, only becoming more and more homogeneous, and it is impossible to separate them again.

When the entropy of the universe reaches its maximum, all other effective energy in the universe has been converted into heat energy, and the temperature of all matter has reached thermal equilibrium.

This state is called heat death, and there is no longer any energy in the universe that can sustain movement or life, that is, the end of the universe.

However, this theory has been overturned, and living systems are inherently anti-entropy, so the second law of thermodynamics cannot be strictly established.

In other words, there is no strict physical law in the universe, and all laws are just statistical results of probability.

The reason why the entropy of the universe increases with time is essentially the evolution of probability. Because the ordered state of a system is far less than the chaotic state.

It's like a handful of dice, there are only a few meaningful results for people, and the rest are disorganized results, and the more times you throw them, the greater the proportion of chaos. The infinite particles in the universe are equivalent to infinite dice, and at such an order of magnitude, the ordered state is even more pitiful than the chaotic state.

That's why it's always easier to destroy than to build. Because construction needs to be done according to strict steps and rules, and destruction can be arbitrary.

Life is the builder of the universe, and it is also the most peculiar existence in the universe, and the reason why it can reverse entropy is only because they are conscious, and the characteristic of consciousness is to make itself tend to order, so as to counter or even reverse the trend of increasing entropy.

The counter-entropy ability of living individuals and the equilibrium state reached by the entropy increase of the environment are the anti-entropy limits of living individuals. This limit depends on the intensity of consciousness, and the strength of consciousness is determined by its order.

In the known universe, the life with the highest limit of inverse entropy is human beings themselves. There are also individual differences in human inverse entropy ability, and this difference depends on the height of the individual's philosophy.

β€”β€”Excerpt from "The Theory of Inverse Entropy"

It's an ultra-modern hall, with all but the floor covered in displays, and only a handful of them are lines of data code, and the rest are mostly images.

The world shown on these screens is completely different from the scenery of the earth, whether it is flora and fauna, or the terrain and landforms, all of which have a distinctly exotic style, like an alien planet. Most obviously, the planet's background starry sky is almost filled with a huge blue moon.

But on the contrary, there are human figures in these pictures, and they are all earthlings. Some of them are armed with laser-sword-like weapons and hunt ferocious and strange creatures.

Some are fighting each other, fighting each other, and both sides are very strong in combat, and can even cast abilities similar to magic in fantasy settings.

There were also people who were sitting on their laps, looking up at the sky with a deep face, as if they were meditating, and suddenly turned their eyes to the camera and smiled slightly.

A bespectacled, elegant-looking old man with a serious expression and a slightly worried brow paced back and forth in the hall as he scanned the screens.

He sighed suddenly, and said, "Child, use your anthropomorphic form to talk to me." ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, he saw countless lights gathering around the hall, forming a beautiful and unusual girl figure around him.

The appearance of this girl is not like any race, she seems to have extracted all human concepts of the beauty of a girl, so that her image will feel pale in any words.

The girl opened her eyes, which seemed to contain infinite information, and said in an ethereal voice, "Dr. Du, you seem to be in a bad mood. ”

"Child, you've grown up again." Dr. Du said with relief, "You know how to tell the human mood. ”

"It's all your guidance." The girl smiled slightly: "I don't know if I can share your sorrows." ”

"I was talked to again just now, and this time, the time given to us was compressed to one year, that is, ten years for you."

"Ten years?" The girl shook her head: "With our current level of development and immigration potential, the possibility of erosion to the core area within ten years is almost zero. ”

The girl paused for a moment, and then said, "My sister's basic data is slightly higher than ours, but the calculation results are lower, and their abilities are too average. The main reason for this is that they are too gradual, so they do not have the ability to immigrate very well. ”

Dr. Du seemed to have known this answer for a long time, and nodded, "So, during this time, can you guarantee that it will not awaken?" ”

"According to the available data, the probability that the magic box will awaken on its own within a year is 1.7%."

"1.7%? It's dangerous, and the probability of your awakening is only 3.9%. ”

The girl didn't answer, and Dr. Du said again: "By the way, how is the progress of the core proposition?" ”

"The current theoretical improvement progress of the core proposition of 'entropy energy' has reached 52% of the first stage, and it has the value of being put into experiments."

"Forget it, let's wait for the crisis to be resolved. However, it's time for the second phase of the plan, so you can help me design it. ”

"No problem."
