Editing Humpty Dumpty (section)

===In science===
Humpty Dumpty has been used to demonstrate the [[second law of thermodynamics]]. The law describes a process known as [[entropy]], a measure of the number of specific ways in which a system may be arranged, often taken to be a measure of "disorder". The higher the entropy, the higher the disorder. After his fall and subsequent shattering, the inability to put him together again is representative of this principle, as it would be highly unlikely (though not impossible) to return him to his earlier state of lower entropy, as the entropy of an isolated system never decreases.<ref name=Entropy>{{cite news|last=Chang|first=Kenneth|title=Humpty Dumpty Restored: When Disorder Lurches Into Order|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/30/science/humpty-dumpty-restored-when-disorder-lurches-into-order.html|access-date=2 May 2013|newspaper=The New York Times|date=30 July 2002}}</ref><ref name="Entropy 2">{{cite news|first=Lee|last=Langston|title=Part III – The Second Law of Thermodynamics|url=http://www.engr.uconn.edu/pdf/HartfordCourantNIEchapter3sci10C_0708.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080513044934/http://www.engr.uconn.edu/pdf/HartfordCourantNIEchapter3sci10C_0708.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=13 May 2008|access-date=2 May 2013|newspaper=Hartford Courant}}</ref><ref name="Entropy 3">{{cite journal|first=W.
