This text from 1962 explores the fundamental contradiction between entropy and negentropy within the framework of the universe. The author examines the relationship between the tendency toward disorder and the counter-tendency toward order and complex evolution. Although the scientific community often views the reduction of entropy as merely a local anomaly within a dominant entropic decline, the text proposes a bold hypothesis. It argues that negentropy is actually the primary and most significant cosmic process, forming the essential basis of all evolutionary development. In this conception, entropic processes are understood as a mere tool serving the higher purpose of negentropic ascent and the organization of matter. The reflection moves toward formulating a theory where the creative and organizing force of the universe takes precedence over its heat death or gradual decay. This shift in perspective emphasizes dynamics and structural growth as the defining characteristics of existence, thereby challenging traditional scientific skepticism regarding the universality of negentropic phenomena.
