Also known as thermodynamic entropy
Entropy is a scientific concept, most commonly associated with states of disorder, randomness, or uncertainty. The term and the concept are used in diverse fields, from classical thermodynamics, where it was first recognized, to the microscopic description of nature in statistical physics, and to the principles of information theory. It has found far-ranging applications in chemistry and physics, in biological systems and their relation to life, in cosmology, economics, and information systems including the transmission of information in telecommunication.
AI overview
Entropy is a measure of disorder, randomness, or uncertainty that appears throughout nature and science, from the behavior of heat and molecules to the organization of information. It matters because understanding entropy helps explain fundamental processes in physics, chemistry, biology, economics, and technology—essentially how systems change and evolve across virtually all scientific disciplines.
