Part 8/9:
Moreover, the discourse also highlights a distinction between different types of entropy. Chemical or thermodynamic entropy reflects the interactions of molecules and their energy states, while informational entropy, a contemporary expansion of the concept, adds another layer of complexity.
In specific reactions, like those involving hydrogen and carbon dioxide, greater order can lead to lower energy states and the release of excess energy into the universe, thus increasing entropy overall. Life itself may emerge not from chaotic origins but through complex interactions and disequilibria in broader systems, presenting a picture that aligns entropy with the overall energetic landscape.
