In science, syntropy is a term coined in 1974 by Hungarian physiologist Albert Szent-Györgyi proposed to replace the term the term "negative entropy" (or negentropy). [1] In short, based on the misinterpreted logic that entropy is a universal "force" which causes organized forms to gradually disintegrate into lower and lower levels of organization and that some basic difference between the living and the non-living, Szent-Gyorgyi postulated that there exists what he calls the "principle" of syntropy or "negative entropy." He pictures syntropy a force which causes living things to reach "higher and higher levels of organization, order and dynamic harmony." [2]
