The entropy of the universe has increased overall, even though it decreased inside the freezer temporarily. But our topic ...

Combine O'Sullivan's law with Rudolf Clausius' statement on the second law of thermodynamics: "The energy of the universe is constant. The entropy of the universe tends to a maximum," which means ...

"The Double-Edged Sword of Storytelling Learn how storytelling can be both powerful and dangerous, and how it shapes our perception of reality." Watch: Moment Hamas releases four Israeli ...

Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

stating that “the entropy in almost all known regions (of sufficient size) of our universe either remains constant or decreases, although energy is dissipated (by escaping from the system in ...

The grandfather paradox is just one of the thorny logical problems that arise with the concept of time travel. But one physicist says he has resolved them.

Therefore, because entropy always increases, all the molecules eventually find the most likely arrangement, which is them all being spread out equally. This is known as thermodynamic equilibrium, and ...

Now, evidently, the Universe is very much out of thermal equilibrium; its entropy has apparently decreased. What's going on? In particular, if the Universe was once in equilibrium, how has it got ...

It involved a quantity new to science called ‘entropy’ and predicted nothing less than something called the 'heat death' of the Universe. As TS Eliot wrote: “This is the way the world ends ...
