Diane Duane's Young Wizards scifi has a similar thesis, magic in her universe is an expensive tool the Gods offer for use in service of fighting entropy- her work might interest you!
I strongly believe that there is a connection between physics and ethics, even if I cannot quite articulate it yet.
Everything springs, directly or indirectly, from the laws of nature.
I suspect that the concept of entropy is a driving force behind everything. Even the existence of life, as I have written, is the universe’s way of accelerating the pace of the dissipation of energy.
Yes, I feel the same way, and also can't articulate it precisely or how it will work. I don't think anyone can. I suppose this is what Plato and his students were dealing with too, and what is often dismissed in current scientific discussions because of how inexplicable the feeling is. Perhaps one day.

Interesting! I like sci-fi. I should check it out.
It's YA but the first three books are excellent
Wonderful piece here Andrew

We can only hope, right?
