Once I got home, I sulked for a while. All my brilliant plans foiled by thermodynamics. Damn you, Entropy!
The eternal bane of scientists everywhere. Put in simple terms, entropy is the tendency for systems to even out. Let’s say you’re magic and you use your ability to push all the air in an airtight room into one half of the space. Then you let it go. What happens? Whoosh! That’s entropy. Things “even out” over time. One place where this really causes headaches for scientists and engineers is with heat. Like everything else, heat tends to balance out. And when it does, it can really ruin your plans.

Really not the bane of lifeforms ;-)
