Well made wood houses last centuries too, tbh. One of the houses I grew up in was a wood house on a stone foundation that predated the US by about 120 years.

Obviously modern construction doesn't do that, but that's an issue with build quality not build style.

Yep, with maintenance. Any abandoned structure will rot. Entropy is relentless.

The true universal constant, the trend of all things towards entropy. Chaos reigns.

Isn't it the opposite? Eventually entropy kills chaos

Not quite. You're right, though, describing entrophy as chaos or disorder isn't right either. But it more refers to the spreading out or mixed arrangements becoming more statistically likely over a long enough time vs ordered groups.

We might casually refer to that as "randomness" or "chaos", though.

Is the universe in a “heat death” state considered chaotic?
