For a system to be considered at equilibrium, entropy must actually be at its maximum. In order to be stable, everything must be marginally out of control. This applies just as much to life as it does to chemistry. The best stories I’ve written didn’t start with an outline, but wit...
Is the entropy Sq extensive or nonextensive? Astrophys - Tsallis () Citation Context ... particular, [45] discussed the usefulness of a deformed product in studying the extensive property of generalized entropies, a question that will be further analyzed in the present work. Finally, in =-=...
Entropy describes the tendency for systems to go from a state of higher organization to a state of lowest organization on a molecular level. In your day-to-day life, you intuitively understand how entropy works whenever you pour sugar in your coffee or melt an ice cube in a glass. Entropy...
This is similar to the phenomenon of entropy increase67 in physics -- Political parties are like living organisms, which without internal innovation or external intervention, will have diminishing functions and declining efficiency due to continuous entropy increase, and eventually become chaotic until ...
The change in entropy of a closed system is always positive. The change in entropy of an open system can be negative with the action of the other system, but
Uh, OK. What is entropy? Why does it change? [How to Temporarily Undo the Universe's Endless Chaos with Chloroform] Count the molecules If I gave you a box of air and asked you to measure its properties, your first instinct would be to bust out a ruler and thermometer, recording impor...

Schrödinger explains that living matter evades the decay to thermodynamical equilibrium by feeding on negative entropy. Life is based on a different principle, "order-from-order." In chapter VII Schrödinger maintains that "order-from-order" is not absolutely new to physics; in fact, it is...
Chaos & Complexityare related; both are forms of“Coarse Damping”. Whilechaosis a form of coarse damping in“time”,Complexityon the other hand is a form of coarse damping in“Structure”. Complexityarises from the ubiquitous“Collaborative Interplay”of“Entropy & Symmetry-Breaking”in all natur...
This completely depends on the inertia and entropy of the fluid. An air boundary in a barrell of a double overhead ocean wave has a very different surface density compared to say the skin of liquid on a shallow puddle. The closer to chaotic motion should lean towards less dense... ie d...
