FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The concept of monotonically increasing entropy has flaws, that are
probably fatal,
that can be summed up with words like “ergodic”, “Brownian”,
Needs Tweaking, but Worth The Read
2002 June 01
As with
Einstein’s relativity, the potential... oversights are so numerous that they can be
called “manifold”. The fallacies in the concept of
entropy, e.g. entropy measuring or even being equivalent to disorder, are
complex and synergistic. But some of them should have been recognized and never
been embarked upon. The currently and fantastically popular “arrow of time” is
one of the casualties, and in an even stranger way, so is the concept of “time
reversal”.
Directly
or by way of the
Science section.
