Duality

Entropy literally just means scientifically quantified disorder.

The whole universe-decaying context thing is a result of the second law of thermodynamics: in a closed system entropy always increases over time, or, in other words, as time moves forwards, the universe always becomes more disordered.

Entropy itself doesn't mean decay, but the law of its perpetual increase means decay. Decay of order, to be precise, but any definition of decay works too.

Surely you can't expect to limit a concept.

To be fair, perhaps I don't have quite a pin on what Order is. The vaunted Dewey Decimal system is no doubt absolute balderdash to any library patron. What's ordered to you, looks like piled garbage to your mother coming through your room to clean up. I've always personally seen Order as subjective & relative. Saying things can get comparatively less ordered feels like folly. 

 Surely one cannot set a clock to Evolution. That follows its own rules and times, but one can never know where that road will end up.

 ... do suppose something as easily measured as an atom losing atomic mass/electrons counts as 'scientifically quantified' entropy. But I suppose mine own folly lies in assuming definitions.

The concept of entropy is designed to be limited. Scientists prefer things well-defined. Entropy even has precise units: energy divided by time.

Thermodynamic entropy, the most important type of entropy and the first type discovered, is defined as temperature-related disorder - in general, as the temperature of an object increases, the vibrations of the particles within the object quantifiably increase in randomness, and energy is wasted as a result; this random energy wastage is the specific type of disorder increase originally referred to by the second law of thermodynamics. There are other, more recently discovered and also rigorously defined, types of entropy (e.g., informational entropy), however, which all revolve around the theme of randomness or disorder and all fall under the purview of that good old second law.

Statistical entropy encompasses all these variations on entropy, though, because statistics is the mathematical study of randomness.

You're the perfect age to be one, come to think of it.

I volunteer for nephew duty. 

27 is prefect auntie age? I would have though late 30s would have been more likely. XD

Okay, nephew mine!! *snuggles*

Anytime between 25 and 45 is the sweet spot for aunties.

I feel fine, it's just the medical symptoms that get on my goat.

Whaddaya mean?

When are you calm, cool, and collected,

You point out ways in which stress may or may not be overwhelming you,

best way to combat stress that I've seen has been to find peace.
Those little moments, or long week-long times, where your mind isn't racing to and fro'

So I say again: When do you find peace?

I'm calm, cool, and collected all the time.

If my mind was constantly racing with thoughts it would be a trivial thing for me to figure out what was causing stress, but my mind is simply going for a casual stroll along the tracks normally used by my train of thought, admiring the view all the while.

The only way I can feel the stress is a teeny little jitter that never seems to leave my gut, the ominously rumbling ground beneath my mind's sauntering feet.

It's not conscious stress, in short, and I can't recall an incident when I perceptibly 'found peace' from it.
