Is the entropy of a solved Rubik's Cube the same as

>>8562201
Do you know what a microstate is?

>>8562206
Nope.

Bump?

Yes, the colors have no effect other than the wavelengths they absorb/reflect

>>8562201
depends how recently it was solved and/or scrambled. its state has no effect but it does get a little warmer from handling.

>>8562214
Then fuck off with your popsci entropy.

>>8562214
I always mess up the sign, so...no they don't have the same entropy, the solved rubik's cube is more ordered than an unsolved one.

>>8562287
Wow fuck off with your pseudointellectual bullshit.

>>8562304
instead of angrily ejaculating your autism in word-form onto the internet, maybe explain what a microstate / entropy is?

intuitively
solved = 1 state
scrambled = almost all other states

therefore picking a state at random will most likely yield a scrambled state.
is that what entropy is? if you randomly pick a state of a system, you will more likely end up with a high entropy one instead of a low entropy one??

There are multiple microstates that can be considered solved. I don't know how many, but each center can be rotated 90/180/270 degrees and the cube is still solved.

no, the centers on a rubiks are fixed.

>>8562201
Yes, does any scramble have different energy than any other scramble, of course not.

>>8562568
But they spin (obviously)

There is only one solution to a Rubik's cube so it is indistinguishable from any other state of a Rubik's cube.

how is it more ordered?
there is a precise definition of entropy which needs statistical mechanics to be understood.

>>8562605
There are like 5 others that say otherwise. Why did you chose to reply to a wrong answer

>>8562605
Uhhh because there's more microstates in the unsolved rubik's cube than the solved one?
