From a scientific chat-forum:
Q:
What's the opposite of entropy?
I googled for "define: entropy" and came up with this:
"A measure of the disorder in a system."
"The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity."
So if I understand this correctly, entropy is the phenomenon observed when, for instance, a building going from erect to rubble when demolished by means of explosives. Is this correct?
If so, what do we call the opposite phenomenon - that is, the building up of physical systems from something simple with uniformly distributed energy to something more complex and non-uniformly structured?
Is there a word/term for this though?
