we have a life/death cycle because all systems, including the systems that keep you living, tend towards entropy.

only closed systems necessarily tend towards entropy. earth is an open system, and so is your body. that's how life is possible in the first place. the way you're describing it, life would not even be possible to get off the ground.

k, you can not think that all you want. youd be wrong, but you can think it

we only know of entropy/the second law through observation. it's almost certainly unavoidable, but saying that it's "immutably provable" just shows you don't understand the words you're using. only a priori concepts are "immutably provable". in other words, if we do discover a way around the 2nd law, it would be a big deal, but it wouldn't have been strictly impossible, just thought absurdly unlikely.
