An important extensive property of all systems in thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and information theory, quantifying their disorder (randomness), i.e., our lack of information about them. It characterizes the degree to which the energy of the system is *not* available to do useful work.

Second Law from Statistics
Further explanation
Working down from
Entropy a statistical law which says that it is highly improbable that an equilibrium state will occupy anything but the most probable (disordered states)
Supports … The scenario I propose (however far-fetched) is one where order can be created by movement between fixed equally probable microstates at static** temperature–
Fixed Microstates - Entropy does not increase …

Entropy and Conservation of Momemtum
I have often wondered what the relationship is for example between Conservation of Angular Momentum and Entropy
For example
I have a simple system with two possible (but not equally probable) microstates … consisting of 8 particles contained in a circular boundary
Entropy tells me I will evolve from the ordered to the disordered system
However Conservation of Angular Momentum tells me that the Angular …
