I reach across the table towards the cup and saucer;
prepare to nudge it gently off the edge.
I brace myself for impact (and the sound of a resounding smash)
but nothing happens.
Now I pause within the unaccustomed silence – look around me.
And in this final moment before the great freeze begins, I understand.
Our universe has finally reached its equilibrium.
There is no entropy – no random motion.
My crockery can no longer fall.
Testing, testing. Everything has changed. A great freeze in time expressed in the smallest terms, a falling cup.
Yes! I’ve long been fascinated by entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, so this was a perfect time to explore exactly what would happen if entropy ceased to exist (it’s not good!)…
Anne, wow, loved the change.
Thank you!
