If entropy always increases, how is life possible?
I've been thinking about the concept of entropy... If it always increases, how is life possible?
That's an interesting question. While entropy does indeed always increase in a closed system, life is able to exist and thrive because living organisms are not closed systems. Life is constantly taking in energy and matter from the environment to maintain and sustain itself, which allows for a decrease in entropy within the organism.
