If time/space is measured threw entropy (from ordered state to chaos) than what if there was no one here to make the initial measure. Would the laws of entropy still apply?

People use the term "entropy" sloppily. Strictly, it is a thermodynamic concept, and the "law" involved is the 2d Law of Thermodynamics. Qualitatively, it has been explained in terms of order and chaos. However, one should NOT pass back from the qualitative stage to the thermodynamic quantitative stage to invoke "laws of entropy", which as explained above, don't exist. To answer the question, you can always select a set of known reference coordinates and make measurements based on those. You don't require initial conditions.

Interesting topic but question not clear.Could you please re word it?Incidently,why do you think the entropy of the universe is incresing day by day?
