There is a glass of hot water in a cold room that slowly releases steam until everything reaches the same temperature. The entire universe tends toward that same silence, a state where no point has more energy than another. \r\n \r\nThat state is called thermal equilibrium, and when it arrives, no process can occur, not a single one. No star can ignite, no being can move, no difference will remain to drive anything. The final temperature will be almost absolute zero, just a few millionths of a degree above nothingness. \r\n \r\nIf the universe always tends toward equilibrium, then something must force it down that irreversible path.\r\n\r\nThis episode was created with artificial intelligence: AI-assisted script and AI-generated (synthetic) voice.","author_name":"Creators Obomedia"}
