Talk:Second Law of Thermodynamics (view source)
Revision as of 04:34, June 15, 2012
, 04:34, June 15, 2012→Discussion about order/disorder
::Nearly all processes, with a few exceptions that are easily explained (such as phase changes), are thermodynamically irreversible and thus generate an increase in disorder or entropy. Only intelligent intervention can preserve order. Do you agree with that? If so, theories that defy this Law are no more plausible than suggesting that heat can flow spontaneously to a warmer location.

::The impossibility of a [[perpetual motion machine]] that keeps going with constant energy illustrates this. But notice how some deny, or won't admit, it's impossibility. If you agree this type of [[perpetual motion machine]] is impossible, then why do you think it is impossible, if not due to the Second Law?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:33, 15 June 2012 (EDT)
