[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2776681, member: 71723"]Absolutely! In fact, this line is dragged here from a website explaining entropy: "Most understand entropy as a measure of molecular disorder within a macroscopic system." What is a molecular disorder within a macroscopic system? Dirt, contamination, random flotsam and jetsam. The removal of it is "cleaning". Hence, cleaning is the attempt to locally reverse entropy. Get that booger off the field on that nice frosty cameo proof Franklin and get it somewhere else! Even microscopic organisms "clean", using cilia or other structures to separate other particles with which they come into contact into categories like "food" or "contaminants". All life is an attempt to locally reduce entropy in its environment and export the relentlessly increasing entropy outside its environmental experience. THAT is the true "circle of life", not a baboon holding up a lion cub on Pride Rock. QED By the way, before you ask, yes, this IS the kind of stuff I spend my spare time thinking about, not thinking about how I can flip a coin I got cheap at an auction for a quick buck.[/QUOTE]
