Talk:Order from chaos

How is crystal formation (crystallization) possible? When a substance crystallizes, the disordered, ionic solution spontaneously forms an ordered (sometimes nearly-perfectly ordered) crystall lattice? Since this process doesn't violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics (b/c it occurs), and yet it creates a more ordered system.

Also, is not a direct measure of disorder. That's a descriptive term used to communicate the rough outline to non-scientists. For example, if you roll 2 6-sided dice, and sum the numbers up, the state in which the total on the dice is "7" has the highest of any other possible sum. What makes the total "7" more disordered than any other number? Dr. Lahr

Well, since no one disagrees, I'll just change the main entry. Dr. Lahr
