Made this meme while studying CP violation in weak interactions… weak force why cant you be normal?? :cry:

    Interesting theory. On the other hand, if everything would diverge instead, like with the expansion of the universe, we also reach maximum entropy. So why wouldn’t gravity be repellent?

      My understanding is it’s because black holes are the way to maximum entropy. Widely dispersed material has lots of potential energy and lots of possible states, but black holes are “the end” - there’s no further change possible once you get there. There is no state of matter or spacetime with more entropy than that.

        Ohh that makes quite a lot of sense. I always imagined entropy increase as more things are spread out, but i never considered gravity so turns out I was assuming repulsive(electromagnetic) forces when talking about entropy because we usually always considers a system of molecules
