Entropy of liquid Na: the present calculation (red) and experimental data (black). The entropy value is normalized by the gas constant R. T 1 denotes the melting temperature. Osaka, Japan - A ...

One of the enormous conceptual ideas that came along with Einstein's theory of relativity was the surprise that time itself, long considered fundamental and universal, is actually relative. Different ...

For more than a century and a half of physics, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that entropy always increases, has been as close to inviolable as any law we know. In this universe, chaos ...

Paul M. Sutter is an astrophysicist at The Ohio State University, host of Ask a Spaceman and Space Radio, and author of "Your Place in the Universe" (2018). Sutter contributed this article to ...

In all of physical law, there’s arguably no principle more sacrosanct than the second law of thermodynamics — the notion that entropy, a measure of disorder, will always stay the same or increase. “If ...

Murphy's Law states, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." Entropy is sort of like Murphy's Law applied to the entire universe. Put simply, entropy is a measure of disorder, and the Second Law ...
