Title: Can someone explain entropy from a philosophical perspective?

whether entropy has any deeper connection with philosophy, particularly life, time, existence, and the concepts of order and chaos. I'd love to hear different perspectives beyond just the scientific explanation.

What is mass?

What is mass? A photon is the smallest piece of light. Light always goes straight, as fast as anything can go, and it hides the space behind it.

If a photon gets curled into a loop it goes around and around, and it keeps hiding the space inside. That trapped light is what we call mass. Everything you can touch is made of trapped light. Inside (left): the photon runs around and around and hides the space in the middle.

Outside (right): you cannot see the hidden space at all, only a dot. But all the lines of space around it lean in toward it. That leaning is how you can tell something is there, and it is what makes things fall (next page).

Is the universe we are living probabilistic? Or we just don't know enough data points to give a definite prediction?

In a probabilistic universe, there can be many action taken next moment with some being more likely than others. As we project time forward the reality branches out for multiple outcomes.

In a predictive universe, even having this thought to do an action this moment is determined by some past data we can't comprehend yet. What happens next is set to stone, the destiny is already written.

Currently we look quantum world as probabilistic while classical world as deterministic. If we don't want enough data in our observation space, we can assign the same as probabilistic.

Is something like pure probability exist or is it just our ignorance?
