The Langoliers or Inevitable Entropy, framed print

Entropy - The concept of entropy has entered the domain of sociology, generally as a metaphor for chaos, disorder or dissipation of energy, rather than as a direct measure of thermodynamic or information entropy. In the nineteenth century, a well-liked scientific concept suggested that entropy was gradually increasing, and therefore the universe was running down and eventually all motion would cease. "The ultimate purpose of life is to facilitate entropy. We are the langoliers of the present reality." - Kurt Vonnegut Stephen King's "The Langoliers" Book summary - When a plane passes through a mysterious time warp, several people find themselves utterly alone when the rest of the passengers and all of the crew vanished. The survivors manage to land, where as they discover that time seems to stand still and that they seem to be the only people left on the planet. To complicate matters, mysterious creatures called Langoliers are chasing them. The Langoliers' work is to erase moments in time that have already passed into history.
