Nadia Freeman · Answer 1

The entropy of the universe is increasing.

Explanation:

According to second law of thermodynamics the entropy of an irreversible process always increases and entropy is measure of randomness of a system, moreover, the universe is continuously expanding. This means that the randomness of the universe is increasing hence the entropy is of the universe increases.
