Welcome to tidesofentropy.co.uk

Sure, maybe entropy does not ebb or flow like our tides, but as a metaphor, I use the phrase to ponder a fact that many seldom consider.

Whether an ice cube, an advanced civilization or an entire universe, everything follows a familiar path of build-up, plateau and decay.

But why reflect on entropy this way?

Because, amidst this inevitable decay and nihilistic outlook, something extraordinary emerges.

A thing called Life!

Defying our guaranteed cosmic fate, life, against all odds, bewitches and blocks the inevitable just long enough to evolve, explore and, ultimately, create conscious beings just like ourselves.

I feel obliged to document that fact.
