“Even in the domain of situations which would be unanimously described as primarily ‘thermodynamic’, it would appear that there is a rather large verbal element in the coupling of ‘disorder’ with entropy, and that this coupling is NOT always felicitous. Consider, e.g., a quantity of sub-cooled liquid, which presently solidifies irreversibly, which increase of entropy and temperature, into a crystal with perhaps a regular external crystal form and certainly a regular internal arrangement as disclosed by X-rays. Statistically, of course, the extra ‘disorder’ associated with higher temperature of the crystal more than compensates for the effect of the regularity of the crystal lattice. But I think, nevertheless, we do not feel altogether comfortable at being forced to say that the crystal is the seat of greater disorder that the parent liquid.”
Percy Bridgman (1941), The Nature of Thermodynamics (pg. 174); cited by Roderick Seidenberg (1950) in Post-Historic Man (pg. 158)
