Entropy is at a minimum where energy is in its most highly ordered form.4. Energy is in its most highly ordered form in a singularity. 5. The universe we observe is currently expanding at an increasing rate. 6. This expansion eventually leads to a big rip.7. After the big rip the universe is also in a state of heat death (maximum entropy). 8. This creates a vast number of systems seperated via their hubble volumes, each within their own event horizons and at minimum entropy. This is where there is a paradox, from the observing particle, within its own event horizon, it is in its most highly ordered form. Entropy is at a minimum. Even though from a point of view of the universe as a whole, entropy is at a maximum.Just as any observer can only ascertain anything of their universe from what they observe, to the lone particle, it is at minimum entropy. This is where the argument is circular. Paradoxical. But how is it incorrect?
