Prelude
Entropy.
It increases.
This is known.
Earth scientists have written several books about it, usually in increasingly complicated equations in order to make other scientists [and The Author of this Book (1)] cry, and called the whole scheme “THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS” .
Laws.
They aren't always followed.
This is also commonly known.
Which is why Earth scientists are correct…. mostly.
Every once in a very great while, the universe takes a small step backward, as if it has suddenly remembered an appointment it was late for. A brief dip. A momentary lapse in the relentless march toward disorder. Order restored. The reason for this is unknown.
The greatest minds in the galaxy have debated over it some.
The Author of this Book believes strongly in saving poor souls from tortuous scientific dissertations that go round in circles, so they will summarize the main findings in a single sentence: “In the grand scheme of things, this is insignificant.”
So the greatest minds eventually have left the idea peacefully alone, using their brains to work on other, mildly more interesting things. Which violates the law of antagonizing the unknown.
But, I repeat, “in the grand scheme of things, this is insignificant.” (2)
However- and every law, rule, and cosmic principle has its loophole- in the life of one perfectly square girl sketching under a malnourished tree, it is about to become very significant indeed.
(1) It is wise for the reader to note that the author has not completed high-school at the current writing of this sentence.
