In the most comprehensive picture of Universe, we find physical Universe consisting entirely of energy. As the Second Law of Thermodynamics shows, every local physical system continually loses energy to surrounding systems in physical Universe. This loss of energy is called entropy. Because all the local systems of Universe are in constant motion and transformation, the energies are given off nonsimultaneously in multidirections and with increasing diffusion. The scientists call this the law of the increase of the random element. This increasing random element brings about physical Universe enlargement. These nonsimultaneous enlargements bring about expanding physical Universe. The expansion is verified by the astronomer’s discovery of the red shifts in remote galaxies.
