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

The universe is getting more disordered, entropy is growing -- this is the second law of thermodynamics. But according to quantum theory, entropy should actually stay the same. Scientists took a ...

New research shows that the second law of thermodynamics, which states entropy increases over time, also applies to closed ...

Melvin M. Vopson in AIP Advances on how the ‘second law of infodynamics’ provides strong evidence that we live in a simulated universe. Relationship between information entropy and number of ...

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.

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 ...

Using his previously formulated Second Law of Infodynamics, Vopson claims that the decrease of entropy in information systems ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
