One of the most powerful laws is the second law of thermodynamics, which establishes that entropy \u2013 a measure of disorder in an isolated system \u2013 can only increase or stay the same, but it will never decrease.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a University of Portsmouth study, a new physics law could allow for the early prediction of genetic mutations.
