People say they can trap electrons but according to the uncertainty principle that is impossible. To do so would be the opposite of entropy, in a way, and the word to describe this does not exist, but I would look at zero point energy.
I googled for "define: entropy" and came up with this:
"A measure of the disorder in a system."
I also entered "entropy" into www.dictionary.com and found, among other definitions:
"The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity."
So if I understand this correctly, entropy is the phenomenon observed when, for instance, an elastic band goes from stretched to slack or a building going from erect to rubble when demolished by means of explosives. Is this correct?
If so, what do we call the opposite phenomenon - that is, the building up of physical systems from something simple with uniformly distributed energy to something more complex and non-uniformly structured?

In addition I would say that our universe appears chaotic but out of that chaos has come the order of things we understand. Still I wonder what hides behind the veil, and where things like ferions go when you can't see them.

Hey there guys I'm Brant and I was wondering how people can claim to trap electrons or ferions for that matter considering the uncertainty principle. If you could really trap one wouldn't that mean tapping into the energy contained in the place where things go when you can't see them lol????
