Entropy is a measurable physical property that is most often associated with a state of chaos, randomness, or ambiguity. The word and definition used in a wide range of fields, from classical thermodynamics, were first known to statistical physics’ microscopic explanation of existence and knowledge theory’s principles. Chemistry and physics, biological systems and their relationships to…
