Second law of Thermodynamics

[-SD-]

Fonz, everytime you post I think of Henry Winkler, therefore this post is especially humourous.

One interesting fact is that without the second law human beings could not exist.

Yes, one possibility is that the Universe will expand forever. What if it is static? Or if it stops expanding reverses and collapses on in on itself. Will entropy decrease or increase? Hmmmmmmmmmmme be mean? Never.

oopsie -- thought i was on th ebolic board

actually - chaos, string and quantum theory are interesting subjects indeed

chesty - the interesting ? is the singular event of big bang/creation a one time event or part of a continuous cycle? which is the same ? as expanding/colapsing ? really.

Well it is kinda interesting....but last time I looked this was a bodybuilding related board. Also, not everybody finds it interesting.

There are probably many graduates on here in many disciplines. What would be truly lame is if we all started posting questions related to our own subjects.

Because this board was getting really lame with its content so I thought I would go and find out who knew the answer. And I find it really interesting.

We're in basic astrophysics territory here.

1. The Universe is expanding. True. This is IRREFUTABLE.

So, it can either:

1. Keep expanding.(Which would lead to the eventual heta death
of the universe)

2. Expand TO A POINT, then CONTRACT into itself.
(This latter theory CANNOT EVER BE PROVEN btw)


As a tid-bit, The creation of the Cosmos has NO TIME
DIMENSION as time DID NOT EXIST before the
Big Bang.

Remember that time IS RELATED to space(x,y,z)
according to general relativity. During ther Big-bang
THERE WAS NO SPACE.

So, WHATEVER CREATED THE UNIVERSE IS
NON-LINEAR.

Hehe, bet you didn't know that one.

Godspeed

And Chesty, whats your take on faster-than-light speed
travel?

An interesting little known fact is that a velocity faster than
light speed has been achieved in water(Light goes slower
in this medium though according to the density index
of water). Nuclear reactors is where it happens.

Godspeed

I believe it is possible, however, it will take a special engine one that can warp space and time or in other words fool physics into think we are always sub luminal while we travel faster than light. Particles do exist such as tachyon's that are bound to speeds greater than light.

Last time I checked this was the chat and conversation board. The bb board is on a different section. Anything can be discussed here. If you don't like the topic don't read it.

Actually what's really interesting is NONE of these "LAWS" would exist without humans! It's just the "IS" and all these laws are just a way for humans to feel like they "REALLY" understand the universe when in actuality by creating all these "LAWS" you take away from it not add to it.

ahhh yes.....thermodynamics...like a bad hangover comming back in blotches...

But question for you: why is chair the most stable configuration? And does rule have any exceptions?

(ps. I don't know the answer to this.....I was told it probably way back when, but I was probably to busy trying to get those freakin' carbon balls to stop popping of the damn sticks!!!)

 

[chesty]

Hey Shaggs my girl where you been?

Captain whatever, I know your kind your not fit to lick the sweat off my balls

 

[chesty]

Your just another RyanH oh well, gues we gotta take the good with the bad.
