Photons for Breakfast

So at breakfast this morning the discussion had to do with photons and entropy. Are single photos obedient to time? Is the universe totally chained to entropy with an inevitable final condition of equal distribution of atoms across infinite space?

You might think this was happening at some exotic campus breakfast hangout involving students with nothing better to do than solve the issues of the ultimate universe early in the day. No - these were the subjects of discussion at a chain restaurant in a city of the American prairie a long way from the Ivy League or the Berkley/Palo Alto atmospheric heights.

This was church men having a quiet morning discussion.  Religion is obviously not always an exercise in escape from worldly matters and complex reasoning. Stereotypes of religion are so 20th century.

Photos at breakfast are way outside of the usual menu. Entropy is enough to quell any "have a happy day" outlook. Religious topics? It depends on the customers.
