The second law states that the disorder of an isolated system increases, or that the order in that system decreases. It becomes more chaotic over time. The science of thermodynamics deals with energy transfer. The second law dictates that when energy is transferred from one state to another, the entropy of the universe must increase. A good example would be when a warm-blooded animal gives off heat. The energy starts off in a highly organized form within the animal. As the animal metabolizes its food energy and forms heat, the heat radiates from the animal in a highly disorganized form.
