Does Entropy in 5-D dipict an Expanding or Contracting Universe?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of the Arrow of Time in relation to a 5-D space model, suggesting that our perceived 3-D +1 spacetime is characterized by expanding entropy. This model implies that the thermodynamic Arrow of Time points towards a future in a higher-dimensional space, ultimately leading to a Big Crunch that remains undetectable within our 3-D framework. The implications indicate that our current phase of an expanding universe is part of a larger evolutionary process, potentially involving a "bounce" into existence, where we are perceived as riding an upward wave-function. The ideas presented challenge conventional understandings of time and cosmology, emphasizing the complexity of our universe's structure and evolution.

If the Arrow of Time move's upwards from 'our' perceived 3-D +1 spacetime (expansive Entropy), then in this model:http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-th/pdf/0408/0408217.pdf

Has the implications that the Arrow (Thermodynamic Time) predicts that from a 5-D Space, relays an arrow of Time converging to a Cosmological Big-Crunch, the phase of which cannot be detected in 'our' 3-D spacetime.

Our phase is dependant on an Expanding Universe, our arrow of time points towards the 5-D future, its an expansive evolution.

A certain model predicts that we have 'bounced' into existence, we are riding upon an upwards wave-function :cool:

I have no clue what your talking about but it sounds cool :-)
 

Thread 'Condensate rate of water for an air conditioning cooling coil'

I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...

Thread 'Entropy and configurations of microstates'

I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...

Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'

Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
