Entrópianövekedést

Entrópianövekedést refers to the general tendency for entropy to increase in an isolated system. Entropy is a thermodynamic concept that quantifies the degree of disorder or randomness within a system. The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system can only increase over time, or remain constant in ideal cases where the system is in a steady state or undergoing a reversible process. This means that natural processes tend to move towards a state of greater disorder. For example, a perfectly ordered deck of cards will become disordered over time if shuffled randomly. Similarly, heat naturally flows from hotter objects to colder objects, spreading energy more evenly and thus increasing the overall entropy. This principle applies to a wide range of phenomena, from the mixing of gases to the eventual decay of complex structures. While individual components of a system might become more ordered, the overall entropy of the isolated system as a whole will not decrease. The concept of entrópianövekedést is fundamental to understanding the directionality of time and the eventual heat death of the universe in cosmological models.
