The universe abides by the Second Law of Thermodynamics: energy flows from concentrated, usable forms to dispersed, less usable forms, leading to an increase in entropy—a measure of this dispersion. At first glance, intelligence and life seem to create order, temporarily reversing entropy in local areas. However, intelligence doesn’t resist entropy; it’s a natural consequence of it. Intelligence emerges as part of energy’s degradation, functioning within the larger flow of energy from concentration to dissipation.
