If the universe is slowly falling into disorder as I understand the 2lotd to mean, does this concept impact the ideas of an ever expanding / neutral / or "Big Crunch" universe? What I mean to say is - does the 2lotd contradict the idea of Neutral or "Big Crunch"?
If the universe is supposed to always have a net result of disorder how could it eventually collapse back into a singularity? or even remain neutral?
This is not an "EvC" related question, but its 5 a.m. and questions like this pop up and ruin my chances for sleep!
