15,000 Days of the World Is the universe we live in ordered or disordered ?

At present, it is an era of "mixed concepts", for example, the term "ending" of Go is reserved for the closing stage of the football league; For example, "entropy" in physics is used in the interpretation of phenomena in sociology. A few days ago, I was asked by a friend on the Internet, "Under the premise of entropy increase theory, how can we ensure that we can overcome our own inertia and maintain progress?" ”

In this friend's question, if we do not rely on external forces, the world, or we personally, will change from order to disorder with the "entropy increase theory", so that is to say, this "from order to disorder" is a natural law, so how much effort does a person have to make to "violate" the laws of nature?

I don't know if this friend understands Schrödinger's proposal: "Biology is born of negative entropy", Schrödinger used the knowledge of physics to interpret the truth of biology, in fact, it is very interesting, although the concept of physics needs more interpretation, but once you understand it, it is difficult to forget the truth.

In my understanding, Schrödinger's "negative entropy theory" is actually about the difference between living things and non-living things. For example, the reason why a stone is a stone is that it can only conform to the rule of "entropy increase" - without the intervention of external force (work), the stone can only become less and less solid, more and more loose until it becomes dust; Humans are creatures, and it is precisely because they can reduce their entropy through "negative entropy behavior" and put their bodies in a more balanced state, so that humans can exist in a biological way.

Whether it is the "entropy increase theory" or the "negative entropy theory", in my opinion, these are the laws of nature, on the surface, the "entropy increase theory" tells about the world will always "develop from order to disorder", but in fact, this "disordered development trend" is also a kind of "order", which is part of the agreement of the laws of nature - so, in my opinion, for the human world, the "orderly world" is still the "main theme".

What plagues mankind is not "orderly" and "disorderly", but our ignorance of the laws governing the universe. The rules set by the human world are only a kind of forced and subjective definitions, and although these definitions guarantee that humans are at the top of the earth's food chain, they do not help us to easily understand the time and space in which we live. Until human beings can fully understand where the universe came from, any rule we define is a kind of "narrow space-time rule" with strong subjectivity.

When we say "orderly", is it also "orderly" for the universe? What we call "disorder" is not a kind of "order" for the universe? Many times, we will always use our own perspective to replace the perspective of the world, and we will always use our own perspective to represent everyone's point of view, will the real world be the same as our thoughts? Do most people think the same way we do everything?

The more I know, the more aspects I need to consider, and the higher the probability of making mistakes, does it mean that "having more knowledge will lead us to fall into a more disorderly situation?" If so, do we need to have more knowledge?

If there are 15,000 days left in my world, the time to write this article is a countdown: 14,839.
