Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the relationship between time and entropy, exploring concepts such as the "arrow of time" and the second law of thermodynamics. Participants seek to understand the connection between particle motion and the increase of entropy over time, along with references and ideas related to these topics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions the relationship between time and entropy, specifically asking why entropy increases with time.
  • Another participant suggests that the inquiry may relate to the "arrow of time" and the second law of thermodynamics, prompting further exploration of what the original poster has studied.
  • A later reply states that the reason for the increase of entropy with time is unknown, presenting a perspective that acknowledges the complexity of the issue.
  • From an engineering perspective, one participant describes entropy as unrecoverable waste heat, indicating a practical viewpoint on the concept.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the understanding of the relationship between time and entropy, with no consensus reached on the reasons behind the increase of entropy over time.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes unresolved questions about the fundamental nature of time and entropy, as well as the implications of the second law of thermodynamics. There are references to external materials that may provide additional context but do not resolve the core inquiries.

Are you asking about the "arrow of time" and the 2nd law of thermodynamics? If so, what have you studied so far?

Also, if you look at the bottom of this page, you will see links to several PF threads discussing this topic.

The time.Just time and entrophy.Like particles motion and time, the connection between them.

Why with time entropy increases ?
 
Nobody knows. That's just how it is.

Thanks a lot
 
From an engineering standpoint, entropy is unrecoverable waste heat.
