EXPLAIN ENTROPY TO ME RIGHT FUCKING NOW AND DON'T DUMB IT DOWN! I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE AMOUNT OF CHAOS OR DISORDER IM GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU! HOW THE FUCK IS ENTROPY EVER INCREASING? WHY ARE IRREVERSIBLES TOTAL ENTROPY PRODUCING UNLIKE REVERSIBLES? EXPLAIN IT RIGHT FUCKING NOW! AND AGAIN: DON'T DUMB IT DOWN!

It's literally just the amount of energy per unit temperature of a system that cannot be used to do work. I'd give you the differential equation that defines clsssically and macroscopically, but that would confuse you.

Because of the definition of entropy and classius's theorem, which follows from the second law.

Its a measure of the multiplicity of the possible configurations that a system can have.

Have a system comprised of yellow balls? Only one possible configuration, entropy of "1".
Add a couple of blue balls (in honour of OP), more possible configurations. More entropy.

Quoted By:

Here's something:
Entropy is an emergent property of the way thermal energy spreads. Imagine a field of zero energy particles surrounding one high energy particle. The thermal energy in the center is equally likely to spread in any direction. From there, it is again equally likely to spread in any direction- even back towards the center! However, statistics/probability ensures that the energy will ultimately spread out evenly across the entire particle field. The system becomes more entropic as a guarantee of probability, which is why entropy must increase.

OP needs to know why we talk about entropy and how it it relates to the other functions of state as well as heat and work before giving him the statistical mechanical definition.

>chaos
Chaos is a chuuni word used by chuuni physicists.
Entropy is the amount of homogeneity in a sytstem.
>why doesn't it decrease
Because you can't mix cake batter and expect the ingredients to split up, or put a hot object next to a cold one and expect the hot one to get colder.
>don't dumb it down
Impossible.

it's harder to grow a tree than to chop it down
that is, it's easier to make a mess than to organize things, it would be very strange to see a water from the cup to collect itself and go somewhere watch television
this is very curious how can we, living human beings, go through that obstacle of entropy, water can't, we can.
For a better understanding watch Madoka, it's an anime of the decade and it's about entropy

So it is all just probability, and doesn't represent anything itself?

Did you read the very first post? Yes it represents something physically relevant. Practically relevant, even. Fucking air conditioning engineers need to know about entropy.
