&gt; Therefore, a system transitioning from state to state is much more likely to be in one that looks chaotic, and very, very unlikely to ever go back to a state that is non-chaotic.<p>This one thing I don&#x27;t understand about the 2nd law of thermodynamics: given enough time won&#x27;t the system go back to a more organized state simply by chance? And in that case, wouldn&#x27;t the total entropy be reduced?
