Could we picture the universe without entropy (in it)?

[QUOTE="entropy1, post: 6042423, member: 169968"] Ok. Let's suppose there are N states, each state with probability 1/N of occurring. Now take one of those states called M1. Let's call the separated state S1. The probability of getting S1 is equal to the probability of getting M1. Of course, there are many mixed states that are similar to M1 (M2, M3...). But mixed state M1 is just as likely as separated state S1, as state M2, as state M3, etcetera. So if I wanted to wait until M1 had occured, I would on the average have to wait just as long as for S1. Or for M2 or M3 for that matter. [/QUOTE]
