Is it a true statement to say that maximum entropy will not be reached until all molecular motion has stopped? At absolute zero this should occur, and when all motion has stopped, how is it possible for time to register? Could you explain what events might still occur after maximum entropy has been reached? And if we can define them as events, doesn't that neccessitate some form of motion?
