Heya♥️❤️
The entropy of the universe increases not decreases because energy never flows uphill spontaneously.
Entropy is the spreading out of energy, and energy tends to spread out as much as possible.
It flows spontaneously from a hot (i.e. highly energetic) region to a cold (less energetic) region.
As a result, energy becomes evenly distributed across the two regions, and the temperature of the two regions becomes equal.
The same thing happens on a much larger scale. The Sun and every other star are radiating energy into the universe.
However, they can’t do it forever. Eventually the stars will cool down, and heat will have spread out so much that there won’t be warmer objects and cooler objects.
Everything will be the same very cold temperature.
Thanks ♥️✌️
