The presence of order and regularity in the universe is a fundamental question in science and philosophy. It is often expressed as the “problem of the orderliness of the cosmos.” The question can be approached from different perspectives: Physical Laws: The laws of physics describe the fundamental principles that govern the behavior of matter, energy, space, and time in the universe. These laws give rise to predictable patterns and regularities in natural phenomena. Emergent Properties: Complex systems and structures can exhibit order and self-organization as emergent properties that arise from simpler components following the laws of physics. The emergence of order in such systems is a topic of study in fields like physics, chemistry, biology, and complexity science.
