What is this so-called entropy and why the hell does it have to increase?

In my last reels I told about entropy.
So here we go....

Why does entropy have to increase?
Because otherwise everything would freeze up into perfect order where literally nothing ever happens.

Sounds like bullshit? Yeah, fair. Let me explain.

Entropy is when a system has a bunch of different ways to rearrange the same pieces.

Here’s an example:
4 white balls(not men's, usual balls) in a box, only one way to arrange them. That’s order. Low entropy.
2 white + 2 black - a ton of possible combos. That’s disorder.
Good, high entropy.
The universe finally has a shot at being born and doing stuff. Haha
The more options like that - the higher the entropy.

Here’s the formula. Why do you need it? I have no idea.
But here you go:
S = k * ln(Ω)
S - entropy
Ω - number of microstates (how many ways to rearrange the system internally)
k - Boltzmann’s constant. Don’t worry about it. It’s just there so the math vibes.

According to the second law of thermodynamics, entropy always increases. And it doesn’t give a damn. No exceptions.

That’s why heat escapes, glass shatters, and technically, yes, you can suck poop back in, but it’s not recommended👀
Just make it home, that’s the goal.

And no, a broken glass doesn’t reassemble itself into the exact original. That’s not a thing. Stop dreaming.
If entropy didn’t increase, nothing would ever get started.

The universe would be perfectly cold, flat, and meaningless.
No stars. No life. No flawless selfies of mine. Sad.
