Detailed explanation-1: -The second equation is a way to express the second law of thermodynamics in terms of entropy. The formula says that the entropy of an isolated natural system will always tend to stay the same or increase – in other words, the energy in the universe is gradually moving towards disorder.
Detailed explanation-2: -The idea of heat death stems from the second law of thermodynamics, of which one version states that entropy tends to increase in an isolated system. From this, the hypothesis implies that if the universe lasts for a sufficient time, it will asymptotically approach a state where all energy is evenly distributed.
Detailed explanation-3: -The second law of thermodynamics states that in a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases. The universe consists of the system and the surroundings. In a spontaneous process, the system’s entropy can decrease as long as the entropy of the surroundings increases by a greater amount.
