If it is not, then such entropy decreases are possible. there aren't such "external works" possible upon it) or not. Here, your machine becomes effectively an infinite source of doing external work, thus it can reduce the entropy arbitrarily far.īasically, your question is very close to the idea of whether the Universe is a "closed system" (i.e. Thermodynamics does not forbid the reduction of entropy in a system, only without any external work done upon that system. It'd be a perpetual motion machine but without violating energy conservation, because it draws the energy from the infinite reservoir instead of just "making it from nothing". But that won't be for a period of time that the first unimaginable period of time (that "10^100" one) will be but a flash of a second compared to our history so far.If you had an unlimited energy reserve you could draw from with a machine, no matter the form, you have effectively a machine that is capable of doing unlimited work. Eventually even the black holes will evaporate. That period will last a period of time so massive that it's pointless to consider, 10^100th years. We will enter the Degenerate Era where the last remaining super-bodies will be black holes, dwarf stars and wandering bits of planets. Even if we are capable of moving to another pocket of energy, in about 100-500 billion years, the last star will finish its run and the Stelliferous Era will end. Eventually our core will solidify and the sun will cool. For us, to increase order, we decrease it elsewhere around us an a accelerated rate that would not happen so rapidly if we weren't creating this pocket of order.īut whatever we do, only delays the inevitable. That's the fundamental aspect of Relativity - we know the equation for converting matter to energy and energy to matter. We're literally burning a whole fucking star to create this order. In other words, to generate this tiny island of order (Earth's surface) we are literally consuming unimaginable quantities of solar energy. That doesn't mean that there cannot be uneven pockets where matter-energy becomes more ordered, but that process (like, for example, life on Earth) comes at the expense of increased entropy elsewhere. Energy always moves - in toto- to a less ordered state. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!Ĭlick to expand.Reverse entropy in an entire isolated system is impossible. Soon the bricks are so odd in shape they no longer fit the system they were supposed to have repaired With the total system on line 24 hours a day mistake are made. ![]() No easy task when each system of the body needs their own brick version and some parts of the system need a subset of bricks But then life runs into another problemīoth growth and repair and / or replacing cells (the building bricks of the body) requires the cells to be replicated. Life for a short time in specific ways swims up stream against the flow energy falling from a higher to lower levelįood taken in replaces the energy lost from keeping the life process (very basically the energy needed to grow and repair the body). Since there is no outside of the Universe replacement, for the diluted and lower level energies to be re concentrated or raised, this degradation of energy will continue until even atom particals vanish Localised areas of the Universe which contain more energy than their surrounds loose their energy to areas with a lower energy level. ![]() What ever the total energy is within the Universe it is being diluted by the expansion of the Universe. ![]() Since I am to lazy to retype I just cut and pastedĪt the Universe level length of existence depends on physics and entropy.
