C. The laws of thermodynamics, which govern movement through heat and heat through movement, apply universally in time and space.

However, they apply only if it actually is a thermodynamic process, where mass and energy are preserved - in nuclear processes, for instance, they are not.

Where applicable, these laws state that - contrary to the former concepts of ideal, eternal, reversible mechanics (action = reaction) - processes in reality do not proceed without a loss.

The universe is not symmetrical; as stated, it is directed, especially in terms of time. All (esp. all thermodynamic) operations, especially all processes of life, are deficitary and irreversible.

These inevitable losses must be compensated for, before they even arise. Since material thermodynamics cannot function in the negative, with less than nothing, their losses must be overcome by a surplus in advance, for anything to happen at all, and therefore anything to be even created at all - in a purely thermodynamic setting.

Once again, if the emergence of the universe had been a thermodynamic process, as is life itself, it would have been possible only with a source and a sink outside of the universe, a potential greater than its entire energy content.

And even after the manifestation of the mass of the entire universe, the act of creation would have come to an immediate standstill, if there was no such external potential, for which once stood the omnipotence of God.


However, within the universe, such gradients exist for real, spontaneously and continuously arising from gravity itself; and with these, so does the act of creation, again within the universe - as long as this contains mass.

For as matter mutually attracts matter in space, it accumulates itself in one location, in which it further increases its gravitation; and the surrounding space is emptied of matter, which further reduces the gravitation there.

The emergence of a gravity gradient, therefore, is driven by a process of continuous self-reinforcement, which is completely forbidden in the range of thermodynamics; a perpetuum mobile is created, of eternal, self-augmenting movement, in extremis leading to a black hole.

This self-enhancement generates the necessary surplus potential which must be introduced as an advance for subsequent self-reduction - of that potential - in a thermodynamic processes thus made possible downstream, where it is extracted and booked as profit (minus the technically necessary remainder, of course).


Gravitational events are therefore, in the thermodynamic sense, profitable processes, but upstream of thermodynamics, that feed themselves (in stars) off the annihilation of matter (E=mc²).


These gravitational processes create not only material things, such as light and energy, but also, and above all, abstract properties such as order and complexity; and thus the potential offered, free of charge, at the beginning of every utilization chain - and with that, the basis of all wealth, including bare life itself.

(Re-)Tracing the Continental Drift

Is the Superrotation of the Earth's Core Driving the Continental Drift?   View Now!   Trace the 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 [ This was written in September 1997 - but edited more than once since then! ] Scientists have known for long that the Sun's photosphere rotates faster at the equator than at the poles. Now here is a theory I have been working on as a hobby for the last 10 to 15 years, since around 1982: That this is a common trait of all rotating stellar objects which are able to do so, be they liquid or gaseous, big or small, from galaxies over stars and planetary systems down to the planets themselves. This would be because when rotating objects contract due to t...

God and the World

A thermodynamic universe ends up as a cold, dead cloud A gravitational one as today's cosmos This is not about the neo-pagan animism of re-assigning souls to trees, stones or waters, to ask them for permission, forgiveness and protection, and certainly not about addressing a ball of glowing liquid rock (or a dead stone like the Moon), as a living being, by the name of ' Gaia '. Quite to the contrary That could be seen a superstitious expression of a free-floating need for a religious anchor, which 'modern' people once had, but lost, subsequently filling their internal cavernous vacancy with a belief in their own thermodynamics - which theoretically cannot sustain itself, an internal contradiction which is so often blissfully ignored: It is surprising how many people seem to be consciously unaware that the laws of thermodynamics relentlessly apply to themselves as well, individually and collectively. " The LORD giveth, and the LORD tak...

In the Beginning

The bough branch sways in the wind, it's shakin' And everybody learns It's out of dust we were once taken To dust we shall return. It's naked I came from my mother's womb It's naked I'll return some day The Lord God gives this life to live And man, he takes away. Titel & Artist: Unknown (MP3) In the Beginning " God created heaven and earth " But how? For some 13.5 billion years, matter in the cosmos has been organizing itself into ever more complex structures. It begins with a gas cloud, at its preliminary end there is (for a ridiculously short time) self-conscious, living tissue. At least here and there. And that inevitably in the entire universe at the same time, since the mechanism of this self-organization equally inevitably takes place in the entire universe at the same time. Give or take a few billion earth years. But: It is constantly claimed or asserted that the cosmos is a place of chaos .   Or is des...
