SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between time and entropy, specifically referencing the "arrow of time" and the second law of thermodynamics. Participants highlight that while the connection between time and the increase of entropy is established, the underlying reasons remain elusive. Additionally, a link to Richard Feynman's lecture on the distinction between past and future is provided as a resource for further understanding. The conversation emphasizes the importance of these concepts in physics and engineering, particularly regarding entropy as unrecoverable waste heat.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the second law of thermodynamics
  • Familiarity with the concept of the "arrow of time"
  • Basic knowledge of particle motion in physics
  • Awareness of entropy and its implications in engineering
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Richard Feynman's lecture on the distinction between past and future
  • Research the implications of the second law of thermodynamics in real-world applications
  • Study the mathematical equations governing entropy and time
  • Investigate the role of entropy in thermodynamic processes and engineering
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, engineers, and anyone interested in the fundamental principles of time and entropy, particularly those exploring thermodynamic concepts and their applications.

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.
