Does stranger matter violate thermodynamics? (ani.social)

I'm just curious.Strange matter, according to my research, is a perfect state of matter with perfect density, etc. If it is like this, does that also mean that it violates the law of entropy?Because let's see, if it converts matter around it into stranger matter, and after that it doesn't react with anything else, I mean are we going to reach a point where there is no more entropy to grow?Or worse is it decreasing entropy? Since it converts everything to a type of matter that does not seem to interact with itself.

I don't know much, so thank you for being patient in reading in case I have some absurd misconceptions =D

If you mean matter with strange quarks, to the best of my knowledge it's still very hypothetical. There is no hard proof that it exists, or that it would behave in certain ways.

On the other hand, the law of entropy stands undefeated so far. I would not worry too much until there is some actual evidence that strange matter is real.
