Quote by: dthmstr254 got a question, with a vacuum outside of the earth, there is nowhere that the entropy can go to, because entropy is directly connected to matter and energy, because it has to do with heat. since there is little to no matter outside of earth's atmosphere, please explain where all the entropy goes, because the sun, moon and planets seem to be unaffected. so much entropy would have to affect something, and since it doesnt affect the earth, and the stellar bodies in our solar system are unaffected, what accepts the entropy? if it were one of the other stellar bodies in our solar system, one of them would be in a high state of disarray, and maybe even in a disentegrating orbit. in order for so much energy to be used up on earth, energy conservation laws dictate that everything that is affected by a single process is considered part of the system, meaning that, in the big picture, the entirety of space would be part of the system. now given that there is nothing outside the unseen boundaries of space, there is nothing that can work on the universe from the outside naturally. working from this basis, you have to assume that there is either 1.) no boundaries to space and the amount of energy is unlimited, which is a direct contradiction of the laws of physics, which state that there is a limited amount of energy, and nothing can create or destroy it naturally, or 2.) there is a boundary to space and the amount of entropy has to stay the same or increase, meaning that, overall, evolution is impossible. |
