    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.
