Ok I’ll start with the wierd thought and get to the more “scientific” one:
Weird thought:
They say the universe is expanding, everything is falling apart hence entropy.
Yet we humans grow, and gather together.
And yet our minds seperate things into catagories.
More scientific thought:
lets say you reprsent the known universe with a circle that represents entropy by expanding.
We don’t know for certain if there are others but lets say there were, and regardless this can apply to the things within the universe just as well.
If you have other universes you have other circles, if you have all these circles equally spaced out and then veiw their “expanding” or “entropy” you will see that as the seperate things “fall apart” as individuals the whole is actually coming together. The various circles are coming closer to each other, touching each other. I used this idea to think that really it is not fair to say everything is falling apart, in reality as things fall apart they are coming together on a larger scale, and probably on a larger scale they are comgin apart, and on a larger coming together… and so on…
What I think, and this is pure supposition on my part, supported by the text above, is that you don’t entirely know what “entropy” is, in the thermodynamic sense of the word.
Well I would think entropy meant the inevitable loss of energy of a system into another system of lower energy… My oppositioin is that many people use this idea to think everything is falling apart, that the universe can only be expanding into nothingness rather than a part of an infinite series of expaniding and converging inteties. I mean ultimately If you take the contropositive of the definition for Entropy that I just used it would suggest “growth” = the inevitable gain of enrgy of a system from another system of higher energy… Its like a matter of relativity, Is the mass expanding into the vacuum or is the vacuum pulling the mass apart?
