Entropy
The fading of distinction over time.
From the Greek entropia, meaning “a turning” or “transformation,” entropy names the tendency of energy to spread out over time, moving systems from concentration toward equilibrium.
It rarely announces itself. A cup of coffee left untouched slowly cools beside an open window. The heat does not disappear; it diffuses slowly into the air. The coffee becomes closer to the room, and the room closer to the coffee, until the distinction between one and the other begins to fade. What was concentrated becomes dispersed. The energy that once held shape loosens and spreads.
There is no single moment when it happens. It accumulates - small shifts, almost imperceptible on their own, but together enough to alter the whole. Left alone, things do not remain as they are.
It continues whether we attend to it or not.
This is not collapse. It is quieter than that. A redistribution, a levelling-out, a kind of quiet tax paid by all things over time.
Entropy names the gradual giving way of distinction.
A cooling, a drifting, a form that cannot quite hold.
- the word collector, behind the counter.

Entropy is an aspect Observed with flaw; not a flaw of it's being, a flaw of its being the inevitable. Space doesn't Entropy, or does it? We exist, entropy is a calm that allows us Time; the inevitable is the opposite of entropy to entropy. The two coexist simultaneously most if the Time; beginning of the Universe has no beginning, there is a Time in which entropy does not exist, then it goes BANG!, and entropy coexists with its opposite, as Galaxies Form, and Space Expands.
The logic is, without needing a detailed explanation, what's observed at the beginning of the Universe, must be a part of a continuous cycle that exists FOREVER.
With that Logic, a state in which the absolute opposite of entropy occurs, is observably certain. When talking about eternity, inevitable is the opposite of entropy.
