cjac,

there's a repulsive force being put forth by cosmologists that works at great distances, sortof the opposite of gravity. The way it was described in Discover magazine, the math works out where apparently the expansion of the universe is reaching a point where this force begins having a larger impact than when the universe was smaller. Sortof like a second order force at work within a system being elevated to where it's effects are noticeable.

I don't think pockets of high energy, stars, lifeforms, etc are incompatible with entropy. The rule of entropy only applies to the entire system. Disorder can increase systemically while pockets of order are preserved. That's the fundamental paradox of evolution which works from lower levels of order to higher levels.
