Spend the next 18 minutes regaining some hope&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[Entropy is commonly defined as;
&#8216;A measure of disorder or randomness.
A closed system evolves toward a state of maximum entropy.&#8217;
As a physics undergraduate student, this never made sense to me. If things are only able to proceed to a greater and greater state of disorder, where did the order we see come from in the first [...]]]></description>

Our clutter&#8230;

It&#8217;s traditionally the time of year again to give our homes a good &#8216;Spring clean&#8217;. I guess back in &#8216;the old days&#8217;, warmth was too precious to be opening doors until it was warm enough outside, so a smelly winter indoors was probably inevitable! Vacuum cleaners have of course removed the excuse for us [...]]]></description>
