Low entropy early Universe and the heat death musings

[QUOTE="Andrew Mason, post: 6375127, member: 15795"] "Heat death" occurs if the universe loses all its hot spots ie. because all stars have burned out and no new stars are forming. This is not necessarily a condition of maximum entropy because, as you point out, volume can still continue to increase. But, without temperature differences to drive thermodynamic processes, the universe would be a rather dead place. AM [/QUOTE]
