In this chapter, they discuss the concept of entropy and how it relates to the disorder of a system. They provide examples such as air in a box and a drop of ink in water to explain the transition from a high ordered state to a lower ordered state. They explain how entropy is a way to measure this disorder and how it impacts the universe.
