Except that if it continues to decrease forever, forever implies infinity. On an infinite timeline, everything will happen, including an end. So if the universe continues for an infinite amount of time towards an increase of entropy, or decrease in order, then on that inifnite timeline it'll eventually return to it's original ultimately ordered state. And then there will eventually be a flux again, and the big bang will occure, and so forth. |
I think it's an interesting concept. Still though, it suffers from the dillemma of null causality. In other words, what triggered the energy flux from an otherwise quiescent uniform field of energy? Also, at what point and in what manner does the universe go from becoming more disordered to becoming more ordered?
