2nd law of Thermodynamics: Entropy increases over time.
Quoting[0]:
"The entropy of a system can in fact be shown to be a measure of its disorder and of the unavailability of energy to do work."
I rather like that - where "work" is the time spent solving first order business problems, and "disorder" is a measure of the energy spent not directly solving the business problem. AKA dealing with accidental complexity.
