  The way it shows in calculations suggest it’s a very real phenomena tied to free and bound energy.

    Entropy is the RNG that keeps the simulation from going stale.

    I think we are misunderstanding each other. I don’t doubt entropy is real. I was just trying to say that it isn’t made out of any physical substance, but rather ideas and thought experiments. You can not hold it in your hands is what I mean by it doesn’t physically exist.

      Oh, I see!

      But then again, same can be said of anything but matter, and even matter as we know it is just a set of reflections and electrostatic repulsion.

      You never truly touch a single object - you just reach the force equilibrium - and all things you see around you, as well as yourself, are 99,99999% emptiness, or rather a few tiny electrons being everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Even if we could compress our entire bodies to a grain of sand, it would still be mostly that - an emptiness filled with uncertainty. So, does it even matter?
