Would infinite entropy break all symmetries?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion explores the implications of the Universe reaching a state of infinite entropy, specifically questioning whether this would lead to the violation of fundamental symmetries in physical laws, including gauge symmetries, Lorentz symmetry, and CPT symmetry.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions what predictions could be made about the laws of physics if those laws were to be violated, indicating a challenge in addressing the original question.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus, as the discussion remains unresolved regarding the implications of infinite entropy on fundamental symmetries.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks clarity on the assumptions regarding the nature of entropy and its relationship to physical laws, as well as the definitions of the symmetries in question.

TL;DR
If the Universe could somehow arrive to a state of infinite entropy, would all fundamental symmetries be violated?
If the Universe could somehow reach a state of infinite entropy (or at least a state of extremely high entropy), would all fundamental symmetries of the physical laws (gauge symmetries, Lorentz symmetry, CPT symmetry, symmetries linked to conservation principles...etc) fail to hold or be violated in any way?

You mean what would the laws of physics predict if the laws of physics were violated? That's hard to answer.
