Ultimately, the second law of thermodynamics demands that the billiard balls be equally spaced throughout all the available area. Every atom will be at a distance from every other atom, so that nothing will interact with anything, and everything will be dead. If you think the picture that heads this article is beautiful, then you'll think entropy is beautiful (you nihilist you!)

In fact, physics tells you that what you said is a possibility, but not the only one. There are indeed possible other scenarios for the evolution of the universe, with different fates.

I know I killed the charm of the post with my physics comment. Apologies for this! But on the other hand you tried to kill Leonardos… ;) More seriously, I enjoyed the blog. Ordered or non-ordered, that’s the question after all!
