Why entropy is not disorder?

Answer 1

In my opinion entropy not only is disorder but also it attempt to make a new order by distribution of energy in universe.I want to prove this idea by a simple example.

In my view order is finding my socks easily and in the minimum of time every morning.If I want to reach to this aim opposite of of entropy trend I should be bought a hug number of socks that I can find my socks even with blindfolded.

A house full of socks how can remember order?This manner even reduce probability of finding socks for others and destroy the social order.Entropy is preference everybody to somebody.In this view entropy is a trend to social justice.

The above discussion of entropy is mostly an example of the extension of the concept of entropy from thermodynamics to analogous situations elsewhere. In statistical mechanics, the notions of order and disorder were introduced into the concept of entropy. From statistical mechanics it is possible to define and derive equations that exactly reproduce the thermodynamic equations for entropy and show that those equations match the values from traditional thermodynamics - hence they ARE the same function. Various thermodynamic processes now can be reduced to a description of the states of order of the initial systems, and therefore entropy becomes an expression of disorder or randomness.

This idea of entropy being the same as disorder or randomness has been applied to describe phenomena at the macroscopic level. Unfortunately, the analogs are not perfect and not all the mathematics that apply to entropy in thermodynamics are valid for the macroscopic phenomena where the term is so loosely applied.
