Spontaneous changes , in isolated systems , occur with an increase in entropy. Spontaneous changes tend to smooth out differences in

ALL ABOUT ENTROPY, THE LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS, AND ORDER FROM DISORDER ENTROPYLAW.COM Foundations of Physics, Life and Cognition: Basic Texts, Reviews, Research Material The law of entropy , or the second law of thermodynamics , along with the first law of thermodynamics comprise the most fundamental laws of physics. Entropy (the subject of the second law) and energy (the subject of the first law) and their relationship are fundamental to an understanding not just of physics, but to life (biology, evolutionary theory, ecology) cognition (psychology) . According to the old view, the second law was viewed as a 'law of disorder'. The major revolution in the last decade is the recognition of the "law of maximum entropy production" or "MEP" and with it an expanded view of thermodynamics showing that the spontaneous production of order from disorder is the expected consequence of basic laws . This site provides basic texts, articles, links, and references that take the reader from the classical views of thermodynamics in simple terms, to today's new and richer understanding.

3. Entropy One of the ideas involved in the concept of entropy is that nature tends from order to disorder in isolated systems. This tells us that the right hand box http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/therm/entrop.html

Entropy as Time's Arrow One of the ideas involved in the concept of entropy is that nature tends from order to disorder in isolated systems. This tells us that the right hand box of molecules happened before the left. Using Newton's laws to describe the motion of the molecules would not tell you which came first. Entropy and disorder Index Entropy concepts HyperPhysics Thermodynamics R Nave Go Back Entropy and Disorder If you assert that nature tends to take things from order to disorder and give an example or two, then you will get almost universal recognition and assent. It is a part of our common experience. Spend hours cleaning your desk, your basement, your attic, and it seems to spontaneously revert back to disorder and chaos before your eyes. So if you say that entropy is a measure of disorder, and that nature tends toward maximum entropy for any isolated system, then you do have some insight into the ideas of the second law of thermodynamics Some care must be taken about how you define "disorder" if you are going to use it to understand entropy. A more precise way to characterize entropy is to say that it is a measure of the "multiplicity" associated with the state of the objects. If a given state can be accomplished in many more ways, then it is more probabable than one which can be accomplished in only a few ways. When " throwing dice ", throwing a seven is more probable than a two because you can produce seven in six different ways and there is only one way to produce a two. So seven has a higher multiplicity than a two, and we could say that a seven represents higher "disorder" or higher entropy.

Home Home Introduction Screenshots Downloads CVS ... Deutsch ENTROPY stands for Emerging Network To Reduce Orwellian Potency Yield and as such describes the main goal of the project. ENTROPY is developed as a response to increasing censorship and surveillance in the internet. The program connects your computer to a network of machines which all run this software. The ENTROPY network is running parallel to the WWW and also other internet services like FTP, email, ICQ. etc. For the user the ENTROPY network looks like a collection of WWW pages. The difference to the WWW however is that there are no accesses to central servers. And this is why there is no site operator who could log who downloaded what and when. Every computer taking part in the ENTROPY network (every node) is at the same time server, router for other nodes, caching proxy and client for the user: that is You. After you gained some experience with the ENTROPY network, there are command line tools for you to insert whole directory trees into the network as a ENTROPY site. So ENTROPY does for you what a webspace provider does for you in the WWW - but without the storage and bandwidth costs and without any regulation or policy as to what kind of content you are allowed to publish. Everyone can contribute his own ENTROPY site for everybody else to browse through. The contents is stored in a distributed manner across all available and reachable nodes and no one can find out about who put up what contents into the network [ ]. Even if your node is not actively running, your contents can be retrieved by others without knowing that it was actually you who published the files. Of course this is only true if you do not publish your name (or leave your name or other personal data in the files you publish)

19. Entropy Explained Explanation of entropy and how it is hopelessly misunderstood by creationists and sometimes even some of their opponents. http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/entropy.html

TEST Library Modern Richard Carrier Bad Science, Worse Philosophy : Entropy Explained Entropy Explained (2003, 2005) Richard Carrier Addendum A to "Bad Science, Worse Philosophy: the Quackery and Logic-Chopping of David Foster's The Philosophical Scientists" (2000) Introduction The concept of entropy is generally not well understood among laymen. With the help of several physicists, including Wolfgang Gasser and Malcolm Schreiber, I have composed the following article in an attempt to correct a common misunderstanding.[ ] Contrary to what many laymen think, there is no Law of Entropy which states that order must always decrease. That is a layman's fiction, although born from a small kernel of reality. The actual Law of Entropy is better known as the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The First Law is that energy is not created or destroyed, and the Third Law is that absolute zero cannot be achievedeach of these laws is actually entailed from the first, in conjunction with certain other assumptions. But it is the Second Law that many laymen incorrectly think says that order must always decrease. In traditional thermodynamics, entropy is a measure of the amount of energy in a closed system that is no longer available to effect changes in that system. A system is closed when no energy is being added to or removed from it, and energy becomes unavailable not by leaving the system, but by becoming irretrievably disordered, as a consequence of the laws of statistical mechanics. But even though the total amount of energy that is irretrievably disordered will increase, this does not mean order cannot increase somewhere else in that same system. This is where confusion arises. Of course, entropy can be measured in an open system, too, but this introduces additional variables, and of course the Second Law then no longer applies. But even when the Second Law applies, it is still possible for a closed system to produce order, even highly elaborate order, so long as there is a greater increase in disorder somewhere else in the system.

Entropy If We Avoid the Briar Patches! are the most important scientific concepts to anyone who wants to understand how the world works. They're both simple, if expressed in plain English without briars like #1. Writers who are not scientists or who are joking mathematicians . See the 2007 article, http://www.entropysite.com/ConFigEntPublicat.pdf , especially the conclusion and Note 4. #2. "Isolated systems" instead of our open system of earth and sun #3. Misleading statements like "Entropy is disorder" (It isn't disorder!) #4. Messy desks erroneous examples of an increase in entropy The second law of thermodynamics is our "greatest good" but it's also our "baddest bad". is ultimately possible because of the second law but so are death, the violence of car accidents and hurricanes! Who should read this site? Any mature adult who wants to know how the material world works. Why do you say "mature adult"? Because most younger students are in a hurry. However, for students in the humanities and the arts this site would be very useful for their information and for their thinking lifelong.
