Everything gets worse. Corruption is at the core of the universe. Matter and energy tends to disperse. ![[Pasted image 20200926134939.png]] But perhaps we can build some kind of machinery that taps into that decay and drives some construction. As the world decays globally, we can create local order. There are many examples of this, including the combustion engine, digestion of food, etc. Perhaps the most prominent one is the dispersed energy of the sun which is captured by plants: ![[Pasted image 20200926135431.png]] The 2nd law can explain how breakfast becomes a sonata. Darwin was really exploring the workings of the 2nd law through biology and evolution. ![[Pasted image 20200926140059.png]] Matter and energy collapse into an ecosystem which generates wonder. There is a simplicity on the other side of complexity. ![[fractal.png]]
