I think the universe begins infinite then finds a curve, where the infinite âlinesâ gain a value probably pi and retract into a finite mass. The amount would be at a rough estimation, â - pi as an exponent, so you quickly get down to a condensation of the infinite energy into a singularity i.e. where the energy can be compressed no more. Ergo there is a limited amount of energy derivative of an infinite amount of it, so it is âthe wholeâ of all energy and hence conserved.
The law of conservation works in every system we have been able to observe so far.
âUniverseâ is a word that designates everything that exists.
We know very little about its scope or possible limits.
That engine is better functioning when a turbine engine (another that I âreâ-invented many years ago).
The conservation of energy, although stated as the first âlawâ of thermodynamics, is actually first derived by definitions, postulates, and non-thermo experiments (electrical, momentum, and gravitational). It is actually true by definition, and is provably true by logic (regardless of experiments).
âPotential energyâ is the term for any situation that can bring about âkinetic energyâ. And unknown to most people, âkinetic energyâ is the term for whatever brings about a situation of potential energy. And further, the amount of each is determined by how much each can produce of the other. So if a kinetic process did not yield enough potential energy, then the amount of kinetic energy was less ⌠and more often, vsvrsa. It has always been a circular measurement, although I donât know that they ever realized that.
You will have to state the exact wording of that one before I could answer it. The wording has changed at least 5 times since it was first proposed. Maxwell blew away the original pretty quickly over 140 years ago, but they kept preaching it as their new religion. Since then they keep changing the wording to try to make it into something that is coherent with science evidence.
This one is no longer about the theory, nor the discussion, nor philosophy. It is about the wording. You must state the exact wording for logic to be properly applied toward sensible conclusion.
What seems infinite to us may not be to something else. This planet may seem infinite to an insect, but it is not infinite to us. Micro to macro, as above so below.
Energy never ceases to exist, it changes. Evolution perhaps.
That is also false. Entropy is not a causal agency, thus cannot âaccount forâ anything. Entropy is merely a measure of what is present, not why it is that way.
That is also false. Entropy is not defined by the state of energy, but of pattern or distribution in space (of anything). An example from Wiki:
An example of the failing of such a law would be what happens to a large spherical chamber of mixed gases out in space over time. Over time, the gases will separate with the heavier gases in the center of the chamber. The end steady state situation is less random than it began - lower entropy.
Both gravity and life (among others) defeats the âSecond Law of Thermodynamicsâ. It is actually not a âlawâ, but rather a natural propensity. âMaxwellâs Demonâ was an abstract concept used to show how it wasnât a law very long ago. My own âKD projectâ more physically proved it back in 1972. There have been a variety of systems that over-come randomness, âtrapping systemsâ, and also increase energy state when energy is allowed to randomly enter the system. Subatomic particles defeat the law when first growing and resist the law while maintaining. Objects in space can gradually collect over time due to gravitational migration, becoming less random - lower entropy.
âYes, Virginia. There really is such a thing as Anti-entropy and Anentropy.â
Yeah, but they are merely telling of what the law states. They cannot testify as to whether it is really true. The greatest error is merely in calling it a âlawâ.
Just out of curiosity, how does nature distinguish between ordered and less ordered? Surely it would see different patterns, and randomness as one of them.
It sounds a little strange, but actually ânature distinguishesâ (whatever that means) order from disorder by virtue of speed. That which is ordered merely remains closer to as it was for a longer time, thus establishing a âfixed patternâ (for at least a short duration) and thus an âorderâ to be discerned by a mind, labeled, and used for prediction.
The very first/lowest âorder in natureâ is that of a sphere of dense EMR noise, known as a âsubatomic particleâ. Its enduring shape allows for all higher ordered structures to form (atoms, molecules,âŚ). The sphere only forms due to the traffic jam of noise retarding any change in the over all cluster.
The cluster (gathering) of the noise is the particle. A crowd is not people, but rather a gathering of people. A human body is not chemicals, but rather a gathering of chemicals (in a particular order).
