The second law of thermodynamics expresses the fact that nature tends toward higher entropy, so it's natural that the universe now would have more entropy than earlier. There does not have to be a basis in "beauty" or "elegance", which are human perceptions after all. The universe does not really care what esthetics mere humans perceive. > > Abhinav Lal > Writer & Investor > -- Odd Bodkin -- maker of fine toys, tools, tables
