Apologies for the confusingly worded title; i was trying to keep it short.
If the universe reaches a state of maximum entropy (as in the Heat Death theory), why would that state be stable.
Wouldnt entropy be infinite and therefore any state, including the maximumly ordered state of the Big Bang, have a chance of occurring?
In fact couldn't this be thought of as a state of infinite chaos, where every configuration of the universe is possibly; including the overwhelming unlikely state that its in just at this second, where times arrow would make it appears to us that there was a big bang in the past and a heat death in the future?
Apologies if this makes no sense, i guess the key point is, why doesn't maximum entrop imply maximum chaos?
