(49,001 posts)Overall, at any given moment, the universe is less ordered (energicly) than all the preceding moments. For every local concentration of energy, more energy is dispersed to make that happen so there is a net increase in the disorder of energy.
Life is locally organizing, but beyond its cellular boundaries it creates more energy disorder outside than inside its body.
For example, to feed a human we have to cultivate large areas of earth or hunt/gather large quantities of food. The energy from the sun captured by the plants is ultimately dispersed by our breath and excretia and heat radiation, creating greater energy disorder in the larger system of the earth.
Our human life-force that is mining/drilling energy materials disperses that concentration out into the world as heat exhaust.
Even when the sun and planets formed by concentrating resources by gravity, the energy was converted by fusion and mostly radiated out into space. Most of that energy will travel infinitely forever without hitting any mass. The rotation of the planets is slowing down as tidal forces dissipate energy as heat.
