First let me qualify my statement by saying that I am an archaeology major, and
not too knowledgable about physics.  But, I have a question which I would like
some kind person to correct me on.

It seems to me that a Black Hole is an object which orders the universe.  It 
brings matter together into a point.  Now the Law of Thermodynamics concerning
Chaos seems to suggest that the universe tends to bring down rather than to
order itself.  So, my question is, why can a Black Hole exist if it continually
orders the universe instead of breaking down?  

I hope that was intelligable enough for someone to understand my question.

A kind reply in the simplest language would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
