Every empire believed it was permanent. Every currency believed it would last. History says otherwise — and physics can prove it. This is a summary and analysis of Mickey M Maini's The Entropy Trap: What Physics Knows that Markets Don't, the book James Rickards calls "a compelling attempt to replace pattern recognition with measurement" — and the results are sobering. What if the stability you trust in markets, currencies, and institutions is just borrowed time? What if trust itself is running out, like heat leaving a cooling cup of coffee, and no one notices until it's gone? Across 3,000 years and six historical collapses, Maini uncovers a pattern too consistent to ignore. This guide breaks it down fast — the science, the lessons, the warning signs — so you can see the cracks before they become the headline. Are you ready to measure what markets refuse to see?
