For 150 years a series of idiocies, all related to the concept of
entropy which is an additionally confused version of Aristotelian
entelechy, have systematically destroyed scientific rationality. Some
of them: Environmental heat cannot be converted into work because
businessmen have not extracted money from such a process yet and
because heat always flows spontaneously from hot to cold. Entropy is a
state function. Entropy always increases. The universe is heading for
heat death. According to Newtonian mechanics processes are reversible
but thermodynamics says they are not and this needs further studies. A
stone thrown in the pond never comes back spontaneously and this is a
great puzzle in science. The system manages to produce part of the
entropy internally but has to suck the rest from the environment. Our
world is a fluctuation in some superuniverse which must have reached
its heat death already. Order is disorder. Chaos is order. Entropy is
lack of information. Entropy is not disorder; it is dispersal of
energy. Entropy is logarithm of probability. Life is negentropy.
Enzymes cannot shift chemical equilibrium although almost all metabolic
reactions are unidirectional; if they could, the second law of
thermodynamics would be violated and the concept of free energy would
become quite silly. Sugar dissolves in water because the entropy
increases and the free energy dereases; if the entropy decreased and
the free energy increased, sugar would not dissolve in water.
