For Surf City, this year has been one giant science experiment demonstrating the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
From
All About Science:
The Second Law of Thermodynamics is commonly known as the Law of Increased Entropy. While quantity remains the same (First Law), the quality of matter/energy deteriorates gradually over time. How so? Usable energy is inevitably used for productivity, growth and repair. In the process, usable energy is converted into unusable energy. Thus, usable energy is irretrievably lost in the form of unusable energy.
"Entropy" is defined as a measure of unusable energy within a closed or isolated system (the universe for example). As usable energy decreases and unusable energy increases, "entropy" increases. Entropy is also a gauge of randomness or chaos within a closed system. As usable energy is irretrievably lost,
disorganization,
randomness and
chaos increase.
Guys, get some help or this thing will eventually die off to the point where it will be replaced by people with the energy to do it right.
