    Both of these pictures are pretty much exactly the same compared to actual infinity/eternity. Entropy might also like to have a word about whether or not eternity is even possible.

        Entropy is a concept used to describe, calculate and predict natural phenomena, it doesn’t physically exist.

          The way it shows in physical models suggests it’s a very real phenomena tied to free and bound energy.

          We can say energy has a tendency to be released with growth of entropy in the process.

          Energy along with matter forms everything physical that we observe.

            I think we are misunderstanding each other. I don’t doubt entropy is real. I was just trying to say that it isn’t made out of any physical substance, but rather ideas and thought experiments. You can not hold it in your hands is what I mean by it doesn’t physically exist. It is the absence or end of things.
