Actually, isn't entropy observaeable even under lab conditions? I mean, when the star at the center of our solar system sends out waves of energy, that is in fact entropy in action, spreading the energy out into the environment, reaching toward maximum entropy, which will take approximately 10¹²⁰ years to complete at current expansion rates. The real trick is how to start with maximum concentration and start the process.

I read something recently about “initial conditions” such as the level of entropy.

These initial values are arbitrary, and could have been any other values other than what they were, but they had to be exact in order for a liveable universe to form.
