Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

Entropy is the process of losing energy and this can apply to physics and social systems alike. JamesBrey/iStock via Getty Images Life is full of small decisions: Should I pick up that sock on the ...

Over the past few decades, the idea that gravity is not a fundamental interaction but is instead caused by the increase of entropy has become increasingly popular in the worl ...

Professor Brian Cox explains the concept of entropy and the arrow of time. He uses a pile of sand to explain how entropy is the measure of how many ways in which something can be rearranged. He then ...

Gravity is the most familiar of nature’s forces. It keeps our feet planted on the ground and dictates the movements of planets and stars. Yet, even so, gravity remains one of the greatest mysteries in ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our ...
