If you notice from my postings, I am not on God's buddy list. But this time, I have to come to his defense. There is nothing evil in the concept of entropy. It means that since there are many more random states relative to what we perceive as ordered states, it is more likely that the transitions will be to random states. Implying that in a closed system the tendency is towards disorder. So, there is nothing evil about entropy, but there is a lot of misunder- standing. -- Yosi Hoshen, AT&T Bell Laboratories Naperville, Illinois, Mail: ihnp4!ihu1m!jho
