Math Proves That Everything Really Is Becoming More Complicated over Time

SMRTR summary

The universe is becoming increasingly complex, as demonstrated by 19th-century physicist Ludwig Boltzmann's mathematical insights. Boltzmann's equation proved that entropy, a measure of complexity, always increases in systems moving towards equilibrium. This principle applies to everything from mixing liquids to the expanding cosmos, explaining why our world grows more intricate over time.
