Yes I see Qfwfq; I continually misinterpretate the meaning of Entropy. So let me rephrase my comments; When the universe has reached it's final stage of evolution, and entropy is at it's maximum, thermally homogenious, will it then eventrually cool to absoulute zero? And if it is uniformly at absoulute zero, wouldn't this still be at a maximum state of entropy because in this closed system there would exist no place within it where a disparity of thermal agitation could exist?? Whether at 3 degrees Kelvin or at 0 degrees Kelvin, if it is thermally homogenious, wouldn't it still be at maximum entropy??

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
