Title: Book Explores How the Law of Disorder Shapes Life, Society, and the Future of Humanity

United States, 26th Dec 2025 - The Law of Disorder: Our Existence Itself Depends on This Law. What Is It and How to Manage It? authored by Dr. Sachidananda Kangovi, offers an engaging and interdisciplinary examination of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, also known as the Law of Disorder. Released in 2020, the book presents a broad exploration of how this scientific principle extends beyond physics to influence biological life, ecological systems, economic structures, governance, and modern information networks.The work traces the historical development of the Second Law of Thermodynamics from Sadi Carnot’s early 19th-century studies of heat engines to contributions by William Thompson (Lord Kelvin) and Rudolf Clausius, who introduced the concept of entropy in 1865. Kangovi uses these foundations to discuss how increasing disorder underlies the structure of the universe, the arrow of time, climate systems, and living organisms. The book references scientific advances from figures such as Erwin Schrödinger, who proposed the application of entropy to life by stating that life has two components (a) Order from Order and (b) Order from Disorder. These components later led to discoveries in genetics by Crick, Watson and Wilkins and non-equilibrium thermodynamics by Ilya Prigogine, which showed that food and other resources that we need from our ecosystems for sustenance lead to disorder in our surroundings. Beyond the natural sciences, the book surveys research that has identified entropy-like patterns in many non-biological systems. Drawing on studies by Nedjeljka Petric, Daron Acemoglu, James Robinson, and David Collins, Kangovi highlights how disorder emerges in weakened institutions, unsustainable fiscal regimes, and breakdowns in rule-based governance.
