Or at least not without some sort of effort. When Rudolf Clausius вЂ“ the man who was able to document this concept вЂ“ described entropy he said something along the lines: High energy things transferring energy to other items with low energy, in that direction.

There are simply far too many possible components and only one correct shape- the broken pieces are the components and the model of the egg is the only possible (good) configuration.Д«ut itвЂ™s not only arrangements. ThatвЂ™s why you canвЂ™t unbreak an already broken egg. ThatвЂ™s entropy вЂ“ the number of possible configurations of components in a system. By adding only 3 extra items, we increased the possible variants with 39. Now, how many new possible arrangements do you think are available in total? Let me help, there are 105 ways to arrange 13 items in 3 rooms. You go out and buy 3 additional pieces of furniture. How many possible arrangements exist given the number of rooms and the available possession? If you do the math, youвЂ™ll quickly come up with the answer вЂ“ 66 possible arrangements.Д«ut after running around the house with the lamp and the chairs for some time, you decide to add a couple of extra pieces вЂ“ to make it look fancier. You are a new tenant and you donвЂ™t like the current configuration. There are only 3 rooms and 10 pieces of furniture inside. This idea of вЂњirreversibilityвЂќ is a central theme in the concept of entropy вЂ“ the concept that measures the variables in a system. Time is always moving forward and when an event passes, we canвЂ™t rewind and fix things. When you buy a Lego, you canвЂ™t expect the pieces to magically connect to one other if you dump them out on the floor.

Also, if billiard balls are not arranged, theyвЂ™ll never arrange themselves. ThatвЂ™s why you canвЂ™t put together a broken egg, undo a broken vase and often times repair a relationship. The second law of thermodynamics states that, вЂњas one goes forward in time, the net entropy (degree of disorder) of any isolated or closed system will always increase (or at least stay the same).вЂќ 1 Nothing is everlasting in our universe and the components of a car will, at some point, start to malfunction.Д«ut these are not the main reasons we canвЂ™t have an operating car for eternity.ДЇrom the physics perspective, everything tends to disorder. After all, if their vehicles were indestructible, once handing a car to every breathing organism on the planet, theyвЂ™ll go extinct. Why canвЂ™t you buy a car or a smartphone and essentially have it and use it forever?ДЇirstly, because car companies donвЂ™t want your car to never break. The lack of stability seems to be the only stable thing in life. Even having millions in your bank account doesnвЂ™t mean that youвЂ™ll live a carefree life forever. If you have a regular job, this will mean doing some sort of work to deserve your salary. If youвЂ™re in a relationship, youвЂ™ll have to occasionally get your head out of your phone and talk to your spouse. If you buy a car, youвЂ™ll have to take it to the shop every once in a while for a routine check. Everything we do in life will eventually require some sort of maintenance.
