Entropy

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the universe is in a constant state of entropy, moving from more order to less.  If we accept that the universe is about 14 billion years old, and that it started with a Big Bang, physicists can only conclude that the universe must have been very orderly at its inception.  There is no good cosmological explanation for how this could happen, as each theory is controversial and poses its own set of unsolved problems.

I love a good mystery.
