If that were true then entropy would be conserved, but the second law
of thermodynamics insists that it is not and always increases.
The definition of an entropy and it's increase depends on averaging and
coarse graining. At the microscopic, fundamental level there is no
increasing entropy; the equations of evolution are time reversible.

Some physicists have tried to use entanglement and some fancy footwork
to get around this problem but I don't find it very convincing.
