Nobody likes change – but today I explain why change is irresistible!!

1. The universe is a lazy place….
If it could sit instead of stand, it would – if it could lie down instead of sit, then it would lie down… it is like ‘a river flowing down through caverns measureless to man’.  This is explained by the second law of thermodynamics which states that that THE ENTROPY OF THE UNIVERSE IS ALWAYS INCREASING, or the tidiness of the universe is decreasing.
That is the messiness of the universe always gets greater and greater…. Or less and less ordered- More things are over here and over there for no reason, it is like a teenagers room can get… For any increase in order must be somewhere else a decrease in order… imagine that you have a messy room.. You clean up the room, throw out the magazines and put everything back into its place and it is tidy or ordered… so where is the extra mess? In the recycling or in the land fill… what gives the organization? Energy!
A messy material is a gas or liquid and a structured one is a crystal.. a creature like a possum or a tree or fish is a highly organized portion of matter fighting off randomness or mess
The universe is a lazy place because it always moves to the lowest energy state.

2. Thus, THE UNIVERSE IS ALWAYS CHANGING
So because the universe is always driving to a lower energy state my friend will hope in vain that things will not change… it is against the very fiber of the universe.. Every particle, every dust grain, every light being is straining its way to the most disordered or random state.  I was speaking to colleague at dinner recently; he has been in the same job for 18 years! With the unfolding recession or D word he is terrified of losing his job… at the same time he his comfortable to the point that he has no desire to change… so instead he waits…… You know change is coming… its like the waves on the ocean, you see it on the horizon like a white frothy wave on the azure ocean in the distance…

3. What does this mean to us?
Now, knowing that the universe is always changing around us, what does this mean to us?? Well as a youth I spent many hours in the ocean watching waves out the back picking the one to ride… Are we like the surfer… or we stand in the way of the waves waiting to be knocked down?

In words of a fictional Australian politician councilor Vic Hislop “you can’t stop progress” or more correctly “you can’t stop entropy”.
