Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the nature of order in the universe, questioning whether it is a fundamental aspect created at the universe's inception or if it arises from chaos in different regions. The conversation touches on concepts from physics, particularly Newton's laws, and explores the implications of these ideas on the understanding of order and disorder.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that order may have been created at the beginning of the universe, while also proposing that order could emerge from disorder in other parts of the universe, referencing Newton's Third Law.
  • Several participants express confusion regarding the correct application of Newton's laws, with repeated references to Newton's First and Third Laws, indicating a potential misunderstanding of the concepts involved.
  • Another participant challenges the initial assumptions of the discussion, asserting that the claims made do not align with established physics and urges others to reconsider their speculative statements.
  • A later reply emphasizes the need for clarity and correctness in the discussion, questioning the validity of the initial premise and suggesting that the thread has deviated from its original intent.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus, as there are competing views on the nature of order and disorder, and significant disagreement regarding the interpretation of Newton's laws. The discussion remains unresolved with ongoing contention about the foundational assumptions.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the discussion, including misunderstandings of Newton's laws and the speculative nature of the claims made. The conversation reflects a lack of clarity on the definitions and implications of order and disorder in the context of physics.

Was order created at the beginning of the universe and from that point everything has been decaying or is order created as a result of disorder in a different part of the universe? (Newton's 3rd law)
Of course the two can coincide with each other.

"Newton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force."

Are we talking about the same Newton here?

Sorry I meant the third law
 
"Newton's Third Law states that the mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear."

Are we talking about the same Newton here?

equal and opposite, disorder in one part of the universe creates order in another part.
 
It says nothing of the sort. Please learn what the physics actually says before speculating. Also, please reread the PF Rules on Overly Speculative Posts.

But has it always existed? Answer the question.
 
Sit up! Beg! Speak! Answer the question!

This thread is done. It started out from an incorrect assumption and has gone downhill from there.
