now what drives systems?
why that is energy……. we use energy all the time…
I ate breakfast this morning and I am using that converted food
into energy… but that is the nature of the universe…
we convert matter into energy and we also, convert energy
into matter… this is basic in E=Mc2… energy equal mass…
matter and energy convert into each other and you cannot destroy
either one… the amount of matter and energy remains the same
in the universe… but, that leaves us the question of entropy…
a body over time gain in entropy… which is really a body become
more disorganized over time… we see this in the human body
over time…I am 59… my body has been losing it ability to
function over time… I can no longer do the things I could do
when I was 20, like run 15 miles or stay up all night drinking and
and then go to work at 9:00 in the morning like nothing happened…
my body energy level has gone done… this is entropy… at work
in my body…
but that energy lost from my body it doesn’t disapper, it
can’t, remember, you cannot destroy energy or matter…
it simply converts into something else…
as I age, my body will continue to suffer from entropy,
the loss of energy from my systems… and at some
point, the loss of energy from my systems will be enough
to cause the loss of life, my life… we die from a loss
of energy…if disease or if accidents or something like that
doesn’t kill us first…
I have nowhere near the energy I had when I was young…
I am old… I get tired easily… my body can no longer hold
or store energy like it once did…
and that is the story of life… the physical systems of the physical
body loses energy and when enough energy is lost, the body dies…
but that energy cannot disappear… the energy from my system energy loss
goes back into the overall system… as energy or heat or matter… but it
returns to something outside of us……
so the human body is really just a system, an energy system
that exchanges energy with the outside… energy comes into
a body in some form, be it energy, heat or matter, and then
leaves the body in some form…be it energy or heat or matter
we are energy taking form and we receive energy and we
release energy… so we are a system within a system within
a system………
all the matter and energy created at the beginning of time,
still exists in some fashion, it cannot be destroyed…
it can only be converted into something…
so we have energy converted into matter and that
matter being converted into energy……and back and forth…
a system is simply a matter/energy conversion machine…
as matter and energy get converted into each other by
various means… the sun, the human body, burning a branch……
suppose, just suppose the system was disrupted by something…
the system was not continuous, but intermittent… we would
have systems failure…… so we must continuously have
this conversion of matter and energy at all times…………
