I'm sorry i used the word incorrectly, I meant "loss" due to entropy.
So this begs the questions, where does all this energy go? I was under the assumption it joined all that background noise, adding to the "temperature" of the universe.
Just to make sure I understand this correctly, the small entropy losses are explained with the satellite moving away from the planet? This would eventually lead to gravity not affecting the satellite. The heat produced, on the other hand, is radiated out to eventually join the cosmic background...

A documentary I was watching on Discovery channel explained that Jupiter's gravity acts on its moons to such a degree that it causes them to change shape, in the...
