Words matter. These are the best Entropy Quotes from famous people such as Alan Guth, Scott Derrickson, Rudolf Arnheim, Sid Sriram, Graham Joyce, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
If we assume there is no maximum possible entropy for the universe, then any state can be a state of low entropy.
If you look at life with any honesty and intelligence, it’s clear that human nature is dark, vile, selfish, and despondent. But I also see a force in human nature, namely grace, that sometimes works against our natural moral entropy.
Entropy theory, on the other hand, is not concerned with the probability of succession in a series of items but with the overall distribution of kinds of items in a given arrangement.
‘Entropy’ will be a kaleidoscope of thought processes and my identity as an Indian who grew up in California.
Recasting fairy tales has become a publishing sub-genre in itself, and has been done both well and to the point of entropy. More interesting are those works where the structures of fairytales are abandoned but the world of ‘fairy’ is imported as a delicate spice.
The most basic human impulse is toward entropy and laziness. The less we have to do to grow spiritually, the more likely we are to do it.
I think you should always bear in mind that entropy is not on your side.
We could not, for example, arrive at a principle like that of entropy without introducing some additional principle, such as randomness, to this topography.
Heretics are the only bitter remedy against the entropy of human thought.
Just as the constant increase of entropy is the basic law of the universe, so it is the basic law of life to be ever more highly structured and to struggle against entropy.
I think that there’s something extremely beautiful about the Olympic ideal and its motto – ‘Swifter, higher, stronger’ – it’s such a beautiful motto, and it celebrates everything which is the antithesis of death and dissolution and entropy.
Software is like entropy. It is difficult to grasp, weighs nothing, and obeys the second law of thermodynamics; i.e. it always increases.
‘Entropy’ broadly means tending towards chaos constantly.
I remember New York in the ’80s as a place with vacant lots that would eventually give over to nature. Weeds would grow up, squirrels would move in. That entropy is gone now. It’s too expensive to let a vacant lot go natural.
Entropy theory is indeed a first attempt to deal with global form; but it has not been dealing with structure. All it says is that a large sum of elements may have properties not found in a smaller sample of them.
The minute those two little particles inside a woman’s womb have joined together, billions of decisions have been made. A thing like that has to come from entropy.
We form cities in order to enhance interaction, to facilitate growth, wealth creation, ideas, innovation, but in so doing, we create, from a physicist’s viewpoint, entropy.
A lot of author events are basically hour-long classes in entropy perched on bad seating under bright, hard lights, with – if you’re lucky – bad Chardonnay and cheese on a stick waiting for you at the end of the ride.
Only entropy comes easy.
If there’s no limit to how big the entropy can get, then you can start anywhere, and from that starting point, you’d expect entropy to rise as the system moves to explore larger and larger regions of phase space.
I’m a human entropy producer.
Venice is the perfect place for a phase of art to die. No other city on earth embraces entropy quite like this magical floating mall.
