Why can the world resist the law of entropy increase and produceself-organizing structure? Does the entropy of an isolated system always onlyincrease and never decrease? Can be thermodymamic degradation andself-organizing evolution united? How to unite? In this paper starting out fromnonequilibrium entropy evolution equation we proved that a new entropy decreasecould spontaneously emerge in nonequilibrium system with internal attractiveinteraction. This new entropy decrease coexists with the traditional law ofentropy increase, both of them countervail each other, so that the totalentropy of isolated system can be able to decrease. It not only makes isolatedsystem but also helps open system to produce self-organizing structure. Wefirst derived a statistical formula for this new entropy decrease rate, andcompared it both in mathematical form and in microscopic physical foundationwith the statistical formula for the law of entropy increase which was derivedby us some years ago. Furthermore, we gave the formulas for the time rate ofchange of total entropy in isolated system and open system. The former is equalto the sum of the formula for the law of entropy increase and the formula forthe new entropy decrease rate, the latter is the algebraic sum of the formulasfor entropy increase, entropy decrease and entropy flow. All of them manifestthe unity of thermodynamic degradation and self-organizing evolution. As theapplication of the new theoretical formulas, we discussed qualitatively theemergency of inhomogeneous structure in two real isolated systems includingclarifying the inference about the heat death of the universe.
