    The dictionary definition(s) for the word ENTROPY has many meanings:

  1. For a closed thermodynamic system, a quantitative measure of the amount of thermal energy not available to do work.

  2. A measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system.

  3. A measure of the loss of information in a transmitted message.

  4. The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity.

  5. Inevitable & steady deterioration of a system or society.
My vote & statement(s) shows that, I've decided to apply definition(s) D, or E. smile.gif
Mr. Robin Parsons
B and D seem to contradict and (I) would go for what (I) have believed to be the 'traditional' which would be B.

A works too though ~ but, in both B and A the definition of a 'closed system' is simply an opportunity to circumscribe a premature 'closed' as this question is in relevance to the Entire Universe/Cosmos.

Unless you remove gravity, EM, strong forces, genetic code, i.e. all organizing forces/principles, the universe will not 'run down'.
There is planet,star, and galaxy formation,
plant, animal, and human generation.
An isolated system might, but because the universe is dynamic, those systems don't remain isolated. At all levels, you find some form of recycling.
Also, matter near 0 Kelvin, becomes extremely ordered.
Mr. Robin Parsons
And the synthesis of Atoms into higher ordered elements ~ in Stellar Fusion processes ~ is also Building greater Order - in the Universe, and increasing the total amount of available Gravitational energy too.

In our universe, there's no such thing as an closed, or isolated galaxies, solar systems, or planets & if anyone were to take a block of the strongest (metallic) substance on Earth & continue to bring it closer & closer to an extreme heat source, everyone will be able to visually see that mass of strong elements (atoms) go through the same phase below.... (each element has its boiling point) from a solid, then to a liquid & then to a gas & to reverse that process simply reduce the proximity of that atom / object to that extreme heat source, use the temperature of the sun's core to better understand that, Earth is not a big ball of gas like Jupiter, etc & its not a big ball of ice like Neptune, etc for good reasons.

You got it wrong again laugh.gif . There is an increase of heat, and therefore an increase of movement when ice turns to water, and water turns to steam, and vice - versa. As the particles lose order, entropy increases.

I'm not wrong, an element (atom) proximity to extreme heat will determine its bond energy, which will determine its valency number, which dictates if it's even able to become massive, or not & that proximity to extreme heat dictates exactly what elements it will consist of.

The phases of water in terms of increase in entropy by increased heat are not controlled by the molecular bonds or valency of the electrons in the bonds(intramolecular forces) but rather the intermolecular forces (van der waals, hydrogen bonding etc.) The rest of your statement makes no sense. I don't understand your question about the earth but you directed it toward Gehn so I will let him suffer through it.

One of my sister's kids said something amazing, about Superman, which I thought about & had to agree with 100%.

He said (last night) that, the reason(s) for Superman's super-human-abilities was due to the 2 factors below:

1. The element(s) that his body was made from.

2. Hydrogen.

Now a large majority of us have seen the movie, "the people living within the galaxy, that contained the planet Krypton, its sun was dying (or used-up all of its Hydrogen (atoms) reserves & was going through its red giant, etc phase producing only Helium (just like out yellow dwarf sun is doing right now & will turning red also & will be growing bigger in about 5 billion years from now) & Superman's father & all of the people living on the planet Krypton (for whatever reasons, wasn't technologically advanced enough to have spaceships for all &) didn't have super-human-abilities & was powerless to prevent their own destruction(s), so Superman's father put his infant son into one spaceship & sent him to our galaxy, where he as an infant immediately started exhibiting super-human-abilities, because of our yellow dwarf sun (star) which is (currently) not dying & is still using Helium (atoms) to produce Hydrogen (atoms), which one of my sister's kids said that, the 2 factors above gave Superman his super-human-abilities & he also said that, the Kryptonite element must contain (to some percentage) Helium (atoms), which (naturally) was the only substance that prevented all of the people on planet Krypton & Superman himself (as an infant & grown man) from exhibiting any super-human-abilities."

Well the physical definition is the transfer of energy from one body to another due to a difference in temperature. Is that what you are looking for or are you thinking of thermal energy? My guess is that you are thinking of the later which is vibrational and kinetic energy of the molecules and atoms.

Heat isn't really a thing you "produce" since it is a transfer of energy. Maybe I am wrong in this or being too narrow in my definition. Again I think you are thinking of thermal energy. If the latter is what you mean then heat is produced by many different means. I implore the physics gods of the forum to correct or confirm my thinking in this.

It is a vacuum(for the most part) so it will not contain much thermal energy.

I am not really sure I understand your statement here. My knowledge of String Theory goes no deeper than The Elegant Universe. I anticipate that the physicists on this site will not be persuaded by this argument against the Big-Bang model.

That statement pertains to the (inevitable) decay (rate) of all matter & thanks to "Stephen Hawking" we know that, ENTROPY even affects (dark matter & energy, or) black holes & they die too.

What I want to do is give "BigDumbWeird" credit for mentioning "Super-Gravity", which I view as having that level of gravitational attraction because it's a wormhole (or conduit) to the "STRING" dimension(s).

I willing to say that thanks to some (future) Nobel prize receiver we'll know that, "ENTROPY" even have dominance in there too.

I view "Black-holes" & "Super-Gravity" as, you opening your front door & you naturally would be subjected to the environment of that other side (without stepping outside) notice how a Black-hole(s) gravitational field lines will always be in proportion with an objects proximity to the singularity & the Strings dimension(s) environment.
•SHEOL•
I meant to say that, I believe the Black-hole(s) "Super" gravitational attraction & magnitude(s) within its field line(s) will be proportionate to its mass & to your (continuing) proximity to its singularity, or the environment within the string(s) dimension(s).

I also view the death of the Black-hole(s) as you simply closing your front-door to that environment, as it closes the Black-hole(s) mass decreases & the "Super" gravitational attraction & magnitude(s) decreases as thanks to "ENTROPY" the "String(s)" dimensional door(s) closes until it's 100% closed & the Black-hole(s) die.

I was also thinking about how amazing it's that, also because of "ENTROPY" these "Super-Gravity" wormholes (or door ways) are created by the collapsing of stars over 20 solar masses to form black hole, or again open a door to the "Sting(s)" "Super-Gravity's" dimensional environment.

But, it has yet to be validated (by some future Nobel prize receiver) that, "ENTROPY" has no dominance within the dimension of the "String(s)" & the "String(s)" totally dominates "ENTROPY"

But if you factor in the fact that, our "String, or "Brane" still exist I would have to vote that, "ENTROPY" don't even exist within that dimension & that the "String(s)" & the "Super-gravity" within the "String(s)" dimensional environment reigns supreme.

I believe that, if we (one day somehow) become technologically advanced enough to create a spacecraft that can emit an 100% neutrally charged magnetic fields around the ship & a Nano-body- suit which is programed to also emit an 100% neutrally charged magnetic fields around the suit, we could easily travel through space, Black-holes, even through "Strings" & actually visually see ours & other "Strings" & we'll be able to travel easily double the speed of light, of-course only because of our 100% neutral charge, the second we loss our 100% neutral charge we'll once again only be able to travel (if technology permits) at the normal speed of light, be subjected to the "Strings" Black-hole(s)" "Super-gravity" environment, etc.

Also once again "ENTROPY".

Order has always governed mass far better that chaos.

QUOTE
Why?
Because the energy between structures is entangled and the either/or is based on life rather than death. Meaning life is purposed to continue.

The problem is not in recognizing that if life, when it is cold it will move to warmth, or adjust (put on a coat) in an evolutionary form.

What most do not recognize is that energy disassociated to a system is not just blowing away but entangling other mass. Remember energy never just dissolves…… think causality.

Life abuses entropy and this fact is something most do not comprehend and then if you go into the depths of physics each can find it is entropy that damaged Planck…. Hence why planck’s constant is incorrect!

To recognize energy and the entanglement of mass by energy (em) then Einstein’s spooky action at a distance is in fact that gravity between mass. All mass associates by the energy upon the structures versus the mass itself…. See the BEC condensate to provide the experiment evidence.

It’s pretty basic!

Hi, retard, here's my reply:

QUOTE (•SHEOL•+Feb 5 2008, 07:24 PM)

I'm not wrong, an element (atom) proximity to extreme heat will determine its bond energy, which will determine its valency number, which dictates if it's even able to become massive, or not & that proximity to extreme heat dictates exactly what elements it will consist of.


In non - transition elements, valency is determined by the number of bonds which can be formed e.g. sodium has a valency of 1 - if it forms an ionic bond it will loose 1 electron, becoming a cation (Na+). If it forms a covalent bond, 1 electron pair will be shared.

Tell me Gehn, why isn't the Earth a ball of ice, or why is the Earth the mass that it is?


Well, you see, ice is the solid form of water. Earth is almost all, well, earth. I guess you're one of those dumbasses who think that because Earth's surface is mostly water, it's all almost water.

Well, I usually try to abstain from jumping into thread just to point out stupidities, but quite often, my self-control fails. (Being on this forum is like being a kid in a candy shop when it comes to that.)
However, this time I actually have something constructive to add.
Entropy and Order are two extremes of the same measurement. That measurement is precisely a measure of the number of ways in which a system can be re-ordered without changing it's macroscopic properties (Gross electrical charge, gravity, mass, the ratio of constituent particles, etc, etc...) An object such as the sun has a very high entropy, since you can swap the positions of various hydrogen atoms to an enormous degree without changing the sun in even a single macroscopic way. Similarly, the earth has a very high entropy, since you can swap grains of sand and motes of dust and the location of buildings, cars, people, animals and plants to an enormous degree without changing the macroscopic properties of earth.
That being said, Entropy rules the universe, since Order is nothing but a word which describes low-entropy systems.

Now for the stupidities part I mentioned.
All quotes are from SHEOL:

Also, as your name says..... chemist, I assumed that you have knowledge in chemistry, therefore our entire universe consists entirely of (atom) elements, even in "String Theory" the string that our universe, etc exists within is made entirely of elements, even the Black holes itself (without sucking in any matter) is made entirely of elements, which you should (as a chemist, theoretical physicist, etc) know.

Once again, you demonstrate a profound misunderstanding of even elementary physics while trying to make claims about string theory...
Strings aren't made of elements in string theory.
Elements are made of particles which in turn are made of fundamental particles which in turn, are 1-to-whatever-branes in string theory. There are no strings. Only 1-branes, but that's ok, after all, a 1-brane looks like a string.

I never said that, Branes (or strings) consist(s) of atoms, but energy, (or heat) the brane itself is simply another form of energy, or heat.

So you claim you never said it (which you did,) then you reiterate it, then you claim that heat is a fundamental force in physics???

Sheols wrong on the entropy thing.

As far as anything else in this thread goes.

When it comes to the fusion of elements, people always forget about the Photons and Neutrinos emitted.

If I take 4 Protons, and slam them together to make 1 Helium Nucleus (Following, for example, the PPIV Branch) I generate 1 Helium Nucleus, 2 Neutrinos, 2 Positrons, and a Gamma-ray.

So in all honesty, and take some time to think about this, which do you think has more disorder 4 particles, or six particles.

Even if we follow the main chain of the proton-proton cycle, we start with 6 Protons, and produce 2 Neutrinos, 2 Positrons, 2 Gamma rays, 2 Protons, and 1 Helium Nucleus.

Again, think about it, which do you think has more degrees of freedom, more chaos. The six particles you start with, or the nine particles you end up with?

Trippy,
I struggled, and still do at times, with the concept of entropy. Sometimes it is easy to picture the "disorder" but often it is very counterintuitive. However, when I learned about microstates and more importantly degrees of freedom everything made more sense. Your description is a perfect example of how not looking at the entirety of the data will lead to a wrong conclusion. One could look and see that you are going from two hydrogens to 1 helium in nuclear fusion and assume there was a decrease in entropy because things are becoming "more ordered" however looking at how you increased the number of particles and degrees of freedom. and so an increase in entropy makes things make more sense.. I am sure this concept is child's play to most of you on this forum but it was definitely an epiphany for me.

That's the thing that most people struggle with actually, they forget that things like photons count when you're working out 'how much entropy'.

They look at things like a cooling lump of white hot iron and say "See, the particles were moving faster then than they are now at room temperature, therefore they're more ordered" they neglect to take into account that the white hot lump of iron has emitted how many photons?

The same argument applies with any self organizing system, including in evolution.

If I were to go and tidy my room right now, on the face of it, it might seem like i'm violating the conservation of entropy, but I'm generating how much extra body heat, and burning how much fuel in the process? Not to mention the amount of kinetic energy I'm sinking directly to the atmosphere merely by my movements.

I've made this point in another thread, but even an open system can be considered closed if you define the boundaries appropriatly, and examine it over an appropriate period of time.

When people think they've violated the conservation of entropy, usually all it means is they've forgotten to take something into account.

Funny side show…..

Each are so rapped up in what others suggest that not a one even recognizes the core ignorance causing the idea of entropy; heat and the ‘irreversibility.’ ( a time issue)

What the heck is heat in relation between atom A and B…… Heat is not a property of mass or energy but an ignorant description noted as energy imposing effects to mass.

Energy causes all resonance, all momentum and all association and in every case when you return to any interaction of atom A or B…. it is a wavelength of em….. not sometimes but every time.

Newton offered a frame to motion which has never applied to the micro.

What each may wish to do is isolate what each property described ‘is’ at both the micro and macro versus trying to use ‘laws’ in the incorrect lands.

There is only ONE WAY IT ALL WORKS ….. and the 2nd law of entropy is what ruins our sciences today, via planck…

Have a history lesson:
QUOTE
Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was deeply interested in - even obsessed with - the second law of thermodynamics. According to this law (in one of its many versions), no process is possible in which the only result is the transfer of heat from a colder to a hotter body. With the help of the concept of entropy, introduced by Rudolf Clausius in 1865, the law can be reformulated to state that the entropy of an isolated system always increases or remains constant.

Born in 1858 as the son of a professor of jurisprudence, Planck was appointed professor of physics at the University of Berlin in 1889. His doctoral dissertation from the University of Munich dealt with the second law, which was also the subject of most of his work until about 1905. Planck's thoughts centred on the concept of entropy and how to understand "irreversibility" on the basis of the absolute validity of the entropy law - the version of the second law of thermodynamics formulated in terms of the entropy concept.

In the 1890s the debate about the second law centred on the statistical (or probabilistic) interpretation that Ludwig Boltzmann had originally proposed back in 1872 and expanded in 1877. According to Boltzmann's molecular-mechanical interpretation, the entropy of a system is the collective result of molecular motions. The second law is valid only in a statistical sense. Boltzmann's theory, which presupposed the existence of atoms and molecules, was challenged by Wilhelm Ostwald and other "energeticists", who wanted to free physics from the notion of atoms and base it on energy and related quantities.


But we know if we are cold we put on a coat. So the fact that life abuses entropy is ‘stupid easy’ to recognize.

Then to acknowledge most every system in nature has a ‘life’ to it in itself is only determined by how wide the scope is to observe this…. i.e… tectonics or even the weather.

It is our (mans) description that are the cause of the error but common sense sets in with depth of knowledge.

Entropy will be repealed as a universal law. Not that the sciences will quit using the model but that the TOE of existence does not have any application of such an ignorant observational platform.

Life abuses entropy…. It’s a fact!

Do you want proof?

See the BEC… and note how the energy is siphoned off the condensate.

Clear proof that, ‘energy direction is from a cold to hot’ based on the energy associating between the laser and the condensate.

Remember the term… it’s stupid easy!

Actually, according to the current paradigm, a uranium nucleus has more degrees of freedom then a carbon nucleus.

Even without invoking the current paradigm this is so, after all, which has more degrees of freedom? A pile containing 6 red marbles and 6 blue marbles, or a pile containing 92 red marbles and 146 blue marbles.

As I said earier, it's becoming more disordered, because in creating a single helium nucleus from 6 protons, you create 9 particles (including the helium nucleus).

Trippy,

I am not super up to date with atomic theory. What exactly is the current paradigm? I am assuming it must allow for movement of protons and neutrons within the nucleus. I think unfortunately the lump of little tightly packed balls has been hammered into my head so much I can't help but think of it. So when I think of components of the nucleus as stationary I am thinking it is more ordered than a smaller nucleus.

How is observing heat as being ridiculous such a bad thing?

Is heat a ‘description’ of em upon mass? Yes or No!

So basically if a person puts on a jacket you are observing the energy the person used and associated in order to share the cause? OK… so the observance to an increased environment is how you shared that there was a cause.

Sound familiar ….. ‘to reduce the entropic or uncertainties of a system, simply observe the associated energy.’

SO when you suggest a rock is cooling, please be certain the environment and the associated energy between the structures is observed otherwise the experiment is not observing like systems.

QUOTE

Cooled the BEC correct? Was the laser there to remove a tattoo?

No …. It had a job and did well, but that is not the argument… the item to observe is that energy was used to remove energy from mass, directly!


From a ‘cold to hot’ path … not much to look at but reality……

The question is does energy increase a propensity to associate over above the mass itself? The answer is absolutely!

SO to have a 'direction' based on the energy is the correct idea to observe versus thinking mass follows chaos as a rule.

Don't have a whole lot of time, on my lunch break.

But my understanding of the current paradigm is that it's the 'nuclear shell theory' essentialy, Nucleons exist in discrete shells, not dissimilar from electron orbitals.

Essentially, this theory allows transitions from more energetic states to less energetic states, in much the same way as electrons around the nucleus, (for example gamma ray decay of Cobalt-60) this theory also explains the observation of so-called 'magic numbers' in the periodic table (I think the explanation is, essentialy, that these so called 'islands of stability that the magic numbers represent are due to full or half full nuclear shells).

Does that help?

You do actually understand what you're talking about, don't you?

Apparently not.

IN the context of Physics, work is a measure of energy, specifically it's a measure of the energy used by the system.

When dealing with a refrigerator, for example (or a heat-pump), you're forcing heat energy from a cold area to a hot area, precisely the situation you are claiming violates the conservation of energy.

The point you're ignoring however, is that in order for a refrigerator to move (for example) 5kw of heat energy from the fridge to the surrounding environment, most fridge motors will do 6-8kw worth of work.

It's exactly the same with the LASER and the BEC. The LASER might suck a few mw worth of energy out of the BEC, but, the LASER it'self will generate a few kw worth of heat energy in the process.

This nonesnse you were spouting about jobs makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

Might want to measure energy in KW-hr or joules. But, the general concepts are correct.

@ALL
Put a cold block in a warm room. The block becomes warmer. We say that we heated it up. It absorbed heat energy. It is hotter than it was. Heat transfer occurred. It is now in equilibrium with the room. It is now radiating and absorbing at the same rate, so, currently, there is no net heat transfer.

Say we cool the room down. Now, the block is hotter than the room. It still radiates but absorbs less until it is in equilibrium again. Heat transfer occurred.

We can calculate all this based on heat transfer. Thermodynamics is all about heat transfer.

So, how can you say heat is not "real". Sure, it is all about energy. But, the energy transferred between two things because of a difference in temperature is, by convention, called heat.

Yes, I have done much reading, in fact the Physics department I was enroled at recently is very heavily involved in BEC.

You, however, are completely failing to grasp my simple point.

The BEC itself does not represent the entirety of the environment, or system, it represents a small part of it.

You do actually have at least some idea how LASER's produce light right?

It invlves the generation of heat in a material removed from the BEC, sure, we can bounce the LASER light around inside a fibre optic tube to move it to where we need it, but ultimately, the LASER, at it's source, generates heat, the same as any incandesant lightbulb. That heat increases the Entropy of it's environment (I've actually worked with the Argon LASERs in my chemistry department), and because the LASERs are being used to lower the Entropy of the BEC, when calculating the over all change of entropy, the change of entropy at the source of the LASER must also be taken into account.

I'm not the one being un-scientific here.

According to what you're saying, as Caleb has already pointed out, a Heatpump violates the conservation of Entropy because it decreases the entropy of the room it's cooling (as does any A/C unit, or your fridge for that matter).

Irrelevant.

Iron-56 may be more tightly bound then Carbon-12, but it still has 56 particles in it's nucleus as opposed to 12. It still has more degrees of freedom then Carbon-12.

On top of that, it might be more tightly bound, but it's not rigidly bound.

It's not that hard, which has more ways it can be arranged, a pile of 6 red marbles and 6 blue marbles? Or a pile with 26 red marbles and 30 blue marbles?

Similarly, the earth has a very high entropy, since you can swap grains of sand and motes of dust and the location of buildings, cars, people, animals and plants to an enormous degree without changing the macroscopic properties of earth.

You said that, "....the earth has a very high entropy....", you're correct, but I want you explain why I said you're correct (if you can).

You also said that, "....since you can swap grains of sand and motes of dust and the location of buildings...." now I want you to explain why you said that & depending on your answer, you will be (either) correct, or incorrect.

That being said, "Entropy rules the universe", since "Order" is nothing but a word which describes "low-entropy systems".

Now for the stupidities part I mentioned.
All quotes are from SHEOL:

You said that.... "Order" is nothing but a word which describes "low-entropy systems".

You're wrong, a "low-entropy systems" is the system(s) in which the decreasing of entropy ("heat") is causing other (disordered) chaotic-side of entropy ("cold") to increase.

Order
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order

You're wrong, because as I stated (above) earlier "order" (of anything) is referred to & viewed as a "Steady-State" (or a perfect equilibrium state) in which no change(s) has occurred to any object(s).

You said that...."Entropy rules the universe"...., which is exactly what I said below.

QUOTE (•SHEOL•+)
"ENTROPY"affects all things, don't require any maintenance & is another form of matter energy (or potential heat & work) itself.

But, I'll explain the two reasons (below) why I made the above statement:

  • Dark matter's (electromagnetic) gravitational attraction is what's causing all the matter within our universe to (spin &) coalesce, which is why we have galaxies, solar systems, planets & organic (intelligent) life.

    But, there's a big problem the "increasing of entropy", in which will cause what is known as "The Big Crunch" due to the dark matter's (electromagnetic) gravitationally attractive affects will cause all the matter that came out of the Big-Bang to collapse back into itself, which the "increasing of entropy" will inevitably make our universe become "hot".

    The Big Crunch
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Crunch

  • Dark energy's (electromagnetic) gravitational repulsions is what's causing all the galaxies (each as one separate unit) in our universe to repel.

    But, there's a big problem the "decreasing of entropy", in which will cause what is known as "The Big Freeze" due to the dark energy's (electromagnetic) gravitationally repulsive affects is causing all the galaxies (each as one separate unit) that came out of the Big-Bang & coalesced to move away, in which the "decreasing of entropy" will inevitably make our universe "freeze".

Example of a decrease of entropy : ICE (a solid) -to- WATER (a liquid) -to- STEAM (a gas).

Example of a increase of entropy : STEAM (a gas) -to- WATER (a liquid) -to- ICE (a solid).

QUOTE (BigDumbWeirdo+)
That's "backwards", and even after being told as much, you still cling to this not-just-flawed-but-completely-wrong statement.

You're correct, I should have "reversed" the examples (above) to look exactly like the one below:

Example of a "increase of entropy" : ICE (a solid) -to- WATER (a liquid) -to- STEAM (a gas).

Example of a "decrease of entropy" : STEAM (a gas) -to- WATER (a liquid) -to- ICE (a solid)."

I'm not wrong I read the same link, but you must not forget about the "Chemical Equilibrium" which is affected by the proximity to extreme heat, or away from extreme heat.

QUOTE (BigDumbWeirdo Yesterday at 1:59 PMB+)
There is no chemical reaction occurring as water heats from ice to liquid to steam, nor is there a chemical reaction occurring in when the opposite happens.

You're wrong, because an (atom) element proximity to a sufficient amount of "heat" will cause the "chemical reaction(s)" to occur & the "chemical equilibrium" state to change from a "Steady-State" (or a perfect equilibrium state).

QUOTE (•SHEOL•+)

I'm not wrong, an element (atom) proximity to extreme heat will determine its "bond energy", which will determine its "valency number", which dictates if it's even able to become massive, or not & that proximity to extreme heat dictates exactly what elements it will consist of.

QUOTE (BigDumbWeirdo Yesterday at 1:59 PM+)
A completely flawed belief. The valency number and bond energy have nothing to do with heat.

You're wrong, because you're forgetting about the birth place of (atom) elements, an atom proximity to a sufficient amount of "heat" is involved, which explains why only certain atoms (elements) with the same charge can be formed & fused together & separated within the (dense, pressure & temperature of the) core of a star & given a (positive, neutral, or negative) charge, in which will allow the atom(s) to (electromagnetically) form bonds with other atoms (elements).

Without the core of our sun, our solar system wouldn't even exist.

QUOTE (•SHEOL•+)
Also, as your name says..... chemist, I assumed that you have knowledge in chemistry, therefore our entire universe consists entirely of (atom) elements, even in "String Theory" the string that our universe, etc exists within is made entirely of elements, even the Black holes itself (without sucking in any matter) is made entirely of elements, which you should (as a chemist, theoretical physicist, etc) know.

QUOTE (BigDumbWeirdo+)
Once again, you demonstrate a profound misunderstanding of even elementary physics while trying to make claims about string theory...
Strings aren't made of elements in string theory.
Elements are made of particles which in turn are made of fundamental particles which in turn, are 1-to-whatever-branes in string theory. There are no strings. Only 1-branes, but that's ok, after all, a 1-brane looks like a string.

I did say that, but it's obvious you've misunderstood me, I was referring to energy when I said "elements" as in the type of energy in which the exterior of our dimensional (space & time) universe consist(s) of.

You've said that, "There are no strings...." you're wrong, because you don't understand that our spatial dimension has a boundary in which it ends & the outer wall of our dimension begins & there must be some type objects there & also there must be some type of environment there, just like Black-Holes (regardless of the mass) has something in it, it has a outer / inner wall, it has a (dangerous & unbreathable) environment & it lead to somewhere else, etc.

Our spatial dimension is a closed (separated) system, which is what separates one dimension from another, but you believing that our string don't exist implies that, you believe that our spatial dimension is an open system, which is wrong & you inadvertently & totally destroyed your own "Super-Gravity", etc essay.

I never said that, Branes (or strings) consist(s) of atoms, but energy, (or heat) the brane itself is simply another form of energy, or heat.

QUOTE (BigDumbWeirdo+)
So you claim you never said it (which you did,) then you reiterate it, then you claim that heat is a fundamental force in physics???
Dude, whatever you're smoking, stop. Or whatever medications you're not taking, start.

That doesn't make one bit of sense.

You're wrong, what didn't make one bit of sense was your "Cosmic Flatulence Theory", which you should thank the moderator(s) of this forum for deleting it a.s.a.p.

Be honest, (BigDumbWeirdo) everyone (for you & against you) know that, people only voted for you because they felt extremely sorry, sympathetic, sad, etc for you.

QUOTE (•SHEOL•+)
What I want to do is give "BigDumbWeird" credit for mentioning "Super-Gravity", which I view as having that level of gravitational attraction because it's a wormhole (or conduit) to the "STRING" dimension(s).

I willing to say that thanks to some (future) Nobel prize receiver we'll know that, "ENTROPY" even have dominance in there too.

I view "Black-holes" & "Super-Gravity" as, you opening your front door & you naturally would be subjected to the environment of that other side (without stepping outside) notice how a Black-hole(s) gravitational field lines will always be in proportion with an objects proximity to the singularity & the Strings dimension(s) environment.

I meant to say that, I believe the Black-hole(s) "Super" gravitational attraction & magnitude(s) within its field line(s) will be proportionate to its mass & to your (continuing) proximity to its singularity, or the environment within the string(s) dimension(s).

QUOTE (BigDumbWeirdo+)
If that was anything more than word salad, then you know NOTHING about supergravity. In fact, you don't even know what the word refers to, despite the fact that I previously provided you with the meaning in no uncertain terms.

You're wrong, the only thing that realistically gives the "Super-Gravity" 11-dimension any validity is the existence of "Multiverse, or Parallel Universe" & "Black-Holes" & if they didn't exist the acceptance of "Super-Gravity" would immediately become optional, or nonexistent itself, because trying to explain what's in the 11-dimension, or what type of environment is there, or even the need for the 11-dimension (a place where no one has been) you (obviously) wasn't going to be able to answer in a way that makes it plausible.
