Entropy

Entropy refers to the amount of disorder in the universe. As disorder increases, so does entropy. The second law of thermodynamics states that in every system, energy content goes downhill, from increased order to disorder. The concentration of high energy will flow or spread out into a more uniform, even distribution of dissipated or spent energy.

The C-R theory agrees with all of those conclusions, with only one "minor(?)" exception. The C-R theory concluded that an active Black-Hole must be consuming and concentrating energy. The neutral zone of a Black-Hole must, therefore, violate the increase in entropy.

The only question which needs to be answered is, is the increase in entropy mandatory in all systems, everywhere? Certainly, in the closed system once-heated water tank experiments performed in the last century, the energy content always went from high energy to lukewarm energy over time. However, is our universe doomed to follow the results of this one experiment in spite of the remarkable physical conditions which may exist inside a Black-Hole?

A non-scientific observation may suggest an answer. Assume that our universe is infinitely old. Look around. Is energy anywhere at a minimum? Are there signs everywhere of uniformity, constant temperature, and maximum dispersion of all matter and energy? If not, then, in this case, entropy cannot be supreme.

While contentedly chortling, and thinking, AHA, but if the universe isn't infinitely old, that argument collapses; C-R would maintain that this universe started off too energetic for entropy to allow.
