“the idea of coming to an end is still incomprehensible”
lord kelvin (1851)
entropy bleeds away in beautiful decay
is there a more beautiful word than entropy?
it is
a measure of randomness
a function of state
a dimension of energy
the arrow of time
the second law is inviolate
its effects are still being felt today
and will be extant at the end of everything
as drops of caloric blood seep into the fabric of spacetime
consider
the symmetry of life is death
decay
an elegant reminder that
hate cools
love fades
wounds scar
but
time flies
so
never forget we are all on the clock
maximize pleasure, minimize pain
leave things better than you found them, if possible
because
the glass cannot unshatter
