Entropy v. Bonding

Totally random.

This incredibly broad theory came to mind: What if everything is not moving toward entropy? The theory was spawned in the bathroom after class when in the midst of relieving myself I watched beaded water molecules bond to each other and form a larger body of water. So what?

Well, my brain thinks extraordinarily well in terms of broad ideas and theories. Details? Not so much. Anyway, the bonding of water molecules is representative of pieces coming together to form a greater body. Nothing is too special about this idea until you compare it to the polar opposite theory of entropy.

Have I caught your attention yet? If you don't know what entropy is look up the details, I think you'll find it interesting. In short, it's the theory that everything is moving toward chaos. Okay, well if everything is moving toward chaos, isn't the chemical bond that allows water to coalesce an exception to the rule of entropy? Perhaps.

You could argue on the other hand that although water bonds together, water is soluble and therefore tends to dismantle bodies instead of bringing them together, which means that the bonding of water molecules instead of countering entropy, accelerates it. Erosion is an example of this. But to counter that argument you could say erosion is only a temporary separation of the pieces and that pieces displaced are eventually relocated and united with a greater body. So separating is only a temporary step along the way to greater unity.

And you would say, look idiot, the pieces may tend to greater unity, but the water has destroyed the composition of the original body, and that body will never again be the same. What is more, idiot, water will keep destroying bodies, displacing their separate pieces into new bodies, resulting in the destruction of all original, soluble bodies, and that sounds like chaos. Then I say, but you're missing the point, water molecules bond together. That's all I'm saying. The fundamental nature of the hydrogen bonding is significant.

I started brainstorming additional examples of exceptions to the theory of entropy some of which included

• People in Society (many examples of this), and
  
• Mercury (as well as innumerable other chemical bonds).
  

It appears clear that some natural forces are working to unite rather than disband. I considered relationships between men and woman but I'm afraid although the sexual attraction is strong, it's most likely evidence supporting entropy :) So is everything really moving toward entropy? I don't know.

But, at least it doesn't appear so. That makes me happy.
