I don't think it's "the most immutably provable concept". a priori concepts can be "immutably provable", but not a posteriori concepts (ones that require observation to know about). it's strong enough to be a law of physics, but that's it. the weeds will take over your lawn, and eventually rot themselves. we don't have the life/death cycle because of entropy, that's more related to natural selection. as long as the sun shines, earth has unending low entropy. that's how life is here in the first place. there is only one force in the universe that can fight entropy, and that is energy. no, high entropy is still energy, it's just not usable energy. low entropy is usable energy (you could call it "order"). --- ...
