This book can help you understand the meaning of life and the limits of life.
The reason entropy in the universe increases over time is, at its essence, the evolution of probability.
An ordered state in a system is far less common than a chaotic one. Think of a handful of dice: only a few outcomes have meaning to people, while the rest are disorderly. The more times you roll, the greater the proportion of chaotic outcomes. The countless particles in the universe are like an infinite number of dice. On that scale, ordered states are even more pitifully rare compared to chaotic ones.
However, this theory has already been disproven. Living systems are anti-entropic in themselves, so the second law of thermodynamics cannot hold strictly.
Life can reverse entropy because it possesses consciousness. Consciousness tends to bring itself into order, thereby resisting or even reversing the trend of increasing entropy.
The balance between a living individual’s ability to reverse entropy and the entropy increase of its environment is known as that individual’s anti-entropic limit. This limit depends on the strength of consciousness, which is determined by its degree of order.
In the known universe, humans have the highest anti-entropic limit. Even among humans, the ability to reverse entropy varies from person to person. This difference depends on the orderliness of one’s personal philosophy, in other words, one’s philosophical depth.
