Have you spent hours cleaning your house, bedroom, desk, etc., but only a few days, even a few hours later, they are messy? According to many scientists, “messy” is the general tendency of the universe.
According to Alice Motion, a science professor at the University of Sydney (Australia), the house and rooms gradually become messy over time, partly related to the second law of thermodynamics.
This law clearly states: about the quality of energy, when it is transmitted or transformed, more and more energy will be consumed. In addition, the natural tendency of any isolated system in the universe is to degrade to a more disordered state.

Dr. Motion thinks that the story of the room is very similar to this law, if the room is considered an isolated system .
This partly explains, no matter how meticulous and careful the owner of the house is, after a period of cleaning, the house tends to be messy. This level of clutter depends on each person, in each different space. For example, someone’s wardrobe is always tidy, but the desk can’t be neat.
According to TS Motion, the laws of thermodynamics are very important, in addition to affecting the sciences, they also partly represent the movement of things and phenomena in the universe.
Meanwhile, Dr. Jonathan Tuke – majoring in statistics and mathematics, University of Adelaide (Australia) – said that the neatness or clutter of the house depends a lot on the amount of furniture we have.
When there are more objects in a space, according to math, then there are more cases of placing furniture in the house, which means the probability of messy things is higher.
Similar to a game of sudoku , empty squares are indoor spaces, which may or may not be pleasing to the eye. The numbers to fill in are the same as the furniture you have. That is, the more numbers there are, the higher the probability of putting in the unsatisfactory boxes will be.

According to Dr. Tuke, math knowledge can also be used to clear away things, but still create a feeling of not lacking.
Many women often complain that they do not have clothes to wear, so they buy dozens of clothes but only wear them a few times.
However, with 7 shirts, 7 pairs of pants, 7 pairs of shoes, it is possible to “mix” up to 343 different styles, which means that women can theoretically refresh almost a whole year with just 21 items. .

Also according to Dr. Tuke, less furniture also helps psychologically, in addition to less hard work to clean. “When there are too many items, choosing will make you more tired,” says Dr. Duke.
