This pg has been some time in coming. On the surface, it’s pretty simple as my pages go - but still went back & forth between linear approach vs spiral arms (a suggestion by my kiddo sketching on a bus in Ireland) (also tried moving parts to pgs before/after). Geeked to see it!

In what is to be sure, a strange time at best, I’m still pleased to see this star burst out from my page… it feels a bit hopeful to me.

This expands on a tiny element from my entropy comic - as does the book as a whole in many ways… https://spinweaveandcut.com/sketching-entropy/

@nsousanis

Astounding cartoon!

(On the "improbable": turns out life is good at opening new avenues for entropy to grow, and hence it may be favoured after all: "On the statistical mechanics of life: Schrödinger revisited", Jeffery et al. 2019 https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.08374 )
