Entropy is Overpowered

>>8967181
At least at the level I've learned, entropy has it's fundamentals in probability. It's not absolute in small scale simple systems.

> entropy of an isolated system always increases.

1. You can't change something if you don't know what it is or how it works.

2. If you fused everything, you would have singularity.

If you destroyed everything, you would also have singularity.

Are the previous 2 assertions correct?

I don't know.

Also I don't get what you mean in the first point; we know what entropy is AND how it works.

I discovered that my car's exhaust fumes are cold the other day. I was advised to contact a physicist to document this phenomenon. I rev the engine and it blows out ice cold air. I'm doing some further testing and then will let you guys know if I've managed to reverse entropy

What is entropy?

Entropy can't be solved.
What you want to do is transfer energy from "useless" particle fields to "useful" particle fields, but that requires energy. Where would you get that energy from? If you could get it from "useless" particle fields, they wouldn't be "useless" fields, now would they?
At best you would be able to perfectly recycle energy fields, but that only delays the problem.

What is a field?

Fascinating. I'll bet it's cleaner air, too. Try running that car in an enclosed room, like a garage, and see if you need to wear a jacket. Breathe deeply and see it you don't feel refreshed, too. Try it for say half an hour.

It's possible to slow and/or reverse entropy on a local scale. If your goal is to reverse entropy over the galaxy your species inhabits you could do so using the rest of the universe as your entropy dumping grounds.

But you cannot do it on a universe-wide scale. Okay if you can do science fiction shit like open a rift to another universe and dump your entropy in there that's a way around it, but the point is that you eventually reach your largest isolated system in which entropy will always increase and there's nothing you can do about it.

Don't gravity wells (black holes) somewhat alleviate this issue? You can dump excess energy of one sort or another into them and it won't be bothering you again.

Also define "dumping entropy" in the first place. As far as I understand, you just need to maintain a gradient. I heard from a totally non-reliable scientific source that entropy isn't even a big deal if a civilization were digital because they could use the Casimir effect to create an indefinite energy gradient.

I never understand speculating the capabilities of advanced civilizations. Like, it is ever based in data or science and not just wild speculation?

>"Oh, one day advanced civilizations will be able to harness the intrinsic energy produced from vibrating upquarks and strings to manufacture ebible nutrients ending the hunger crisis."

>"Bullshit. How the fuck would that happen?"

>"We just don't know yet." *shrug*

gravity doesn't exist.
