: Planck/Einstein and death of the universe

[KCvolunteer07]

I don't expect anyone to get this, but it's worth a shot. Maybe someone will impress me.

Mathematically relate Planck's Quantum mechanical equation and Einstein's equation of the law of conservation of energy to the heat death of the universe (Remember that the head death of the universe implies that all mass is eventually converted to energy-aka-burning up. In other words, use the 2nd law of thermodynamics).

I know all of the equations, but I'm clueless on how to relate them. Please help!

The heat death of the universe is based on the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy (disorder/randomness) increases over time. This means that all energy in the universe will eventually become evenly distributed and unable to do any work. Planck’s quantum mechanical equation states that energy can only be exchanged in discrete packets or quanta and Einstein’s equation of the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be converted from one form to another. This means that as energy is converted from one form to another, it will eventually become evenly distributed, as per the second law of thermodynamics, leading to a state of equilibrium or ‘heat death’.
