Gravity and the Thermodynamics of Human Economy and Existence

Go on to the next article / content      Gravity and the Thermodynamics of Human Economy and Existence  The prerequisitions of life  The physical order of the material world  The source and the sink  Fast forward to life on Earth  You cannot short-circuit a thermodynamic process and then expect it to go on  A perhaps clearer summary of the above  A Second Opinion  The prerequisitions of life " What an organism feeds upon is negative entropy. ... Thus the device by which an organism maintains itself stationary at a fairly high level of he orderliness (=fairly low level of entropy) really consists continually sucking orderliness from its environment. ... An organism's astonishing gift of concentrating a 'stream of order' on itself and thus escaping that the decay into atomic chaos - of 'drinking orderliness' from a suitable environment - seems to be co...

Grok 3 beta: What happens if you invert the Formula for Entropy?

Conversations with Grok II Inverting the formula for entropy [Again Grok 3 beta / highlighted, abridged and edited] Spring 2025 Note / History: This idea turned up - I don't remember in what context - as a quasi-serious consequence of recognizing entropy-reducing gravity as the prime force and prerequisite for thermodynamics in the universe ordering itself , in which neither the amount of energy nor mass is constant, the instant gravity-induced nuclear fusion takes place - except in the aforementioned, gravity-invoked thermodynamic processes, which are the subject of the following discussion.   1 A point here is that the universe may be difficult to be subsumed under one single Theory of Everything ; energy and mass may be equivalent, but they are not equal: standing on a pile of rocks being hit by solar radiation is not the same as the other way around. It may be that the Universe is not only asymmetri...

Grok 3 beta: Could the Earth's Core's superrotation be driving Continental Drift?

Tracing the Continental Drift Page  I   II   III   IV   V   For a different layout, you can go to my old _ page or to my substack Conversations with Grok I About the possibility of the Earth's core's extra rotation driving the Continental Drift [Grok 3 beta / highlighted, abridged and edited] Spring 2025 Note / History : In 1996 or thereabouts, I arrived at the conclusion that the Earth's core might be revolving faster than the surface , thus driving the Continental Drift , by looking at that surface; this was literally top-down . In 2005 or thereabouts, scientists arrived at the conclusion that the Earth's core might be revolving faster than the surface , by measuring seismic waves bouncing off of it. This was bottom-up , so to speak; but as far as I know, no connection was ever made to any movement on the surface. This is a test calculation, with the help of AI, to see if tha...
