Andrey Shvets. The brotherhood of the white mouse (№ 213670)

The maximum entropy on the atomic level may lead to the zero entropy of the universe, but on a macro level. In this case, at the macro level, the universe can only be in one state. At the macro level, the entropy is equal to zero - it's heat death. Living matter - a way to transfer entropy from the atomic level to a higher. And people, forming a complex community, transfer entropy and uncertainty to an even higher level.
Mark finally heard more-less logical explanation of the phenomenon of thermal death. He had not thought the common opinion that identified the heat death of the universe in which it could be located in a single state, with a high level of entropy, which in contrast, implies a maximum number of possible States. The contradiction was eliminated heard the suggestion that entropy should be determined for each level separately. And then the maximum entropy at one level can lead to a minimum entropy at the other to the heat death. And then life is really a way to transfer entropy from one level to another. And heat death ought to be identified with decrease of entropy at the macro level.
