New book proposes a 'second law' explaining rising complexity in nature

In their book Time's Second Arrow, Robert Hazen and Michael Wong argue that alongside thermodynamics' entropy-driven decay, there exists a complementary natural principle that consistently pushes matter and systems toward greater order and complexity. They cite phenomena from element formation via nuclear fusion to biological evolution as recurring evidence of this ordering tendency across both living and non-living systems.
