Default Re: Is the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics invariant?

What if there are infinite universes? Or just a really really really big number?

It is possible -- in fact, one often imagines this to be true in formulating the problem. But it certainly does not get rid of the problem: Why do we find ourselves in such a special one, when the vast, vast, vast majority of intelligent beings in this "multiverse" should find themselves sitting in a little localized "oasis" of low entropy, surrounded by black holes? So the problem is effectively the same -- what makes us so fantastically special to be in a universe like this?
