Fighting Entropy

Entropy is an interesting thing. "Things tend to break down. Order begets chaos." If everything starts at order and degrades into chaos, then how do you explain cotton candy? Sugar, spinning around in a huge vat, getting blown around like sand in a hurricane, somehow finds its way to the end of a stick, where it gathers itself into a sweet pink ball of serendipity. Take that, Einstein.
