Few meanings - but a measurement of response and uncertainty
Medicine: In anesthesiology, entropy is a neurophysiologic monitor of the patient's cerebral cortical function, designed to express the likelihood of consciousness, intraoperative awareness, or awareness with recall during a surgical procedure.
In thermodynamics: Thermodynamic entropy provides a measure of certain aspects of energy in relation to absolute temperature.
In mathematics: In information theory, the Shannon entropy or information entropy is a measure of the uncertainty associated with a random variable.
In computing: Entropy is an anonymous data store written in the C programming language.

An entropy is themeasure of the unavailable energy in a closed thermodynamic system that is usually consudered to be a measure of the system's disorder and that is a property of the system's state and is related to it in such a manner that a reversible change in heat in the system produces a change in the measore which varies directly with the heat change in the measure which varies directly with the heat change and inversely with the absolute temperature at which the change takes place.

entropy = chaos
life naturally moves towards entropy

It is strictly 'entropy', rather than 'an entropy'.
Entropy, as far as I know, is the tendency for order to degenerate into chaos..

Entropy is proof that God exists.
If entropy means natural decay in nature why has the whole universe not decayed.

Random and disordered. The more entropy the more random

Definitions of Entrophy:
1. The amount of energy that is NOT availible for work during a certain process.
2. A measure of a disorder of a system.

Ever on the grounds that i replaced into little and til this present day i've got continually referred to as my mum "Mummy" and my dad "Daddy". only because of the fact they on no account spoke back to "mum"/"dad". and it is often caught, i think. comparable with my siblings, too. I swear each and every time my mom calls me at artwork, and that i answer asserting "hi, mummy", i'm getting the main strangest seems from my artwork colleagues. They continually locate that hilarious and usually take the mic. and that i will actual see why it is humorous lol yet, it is not in any respect replaced, and that i doubt it is going to. mom and father will continually be Mummy and Daddy. And specifically because of the fact they won't respond to the rest from their toddlers! : )
