24. Entropy Explained
    Explanation of entropy and how it is hopelessly misunderstood by creationists and sometimes even some of their opponents.

    Extractions: TEST Library Modern Richard Carrier Bad Science, Worse Philosophy : Entropy Explained Addendum A to "Bad Science, Worse Philosophy: the Quackery and Logic-Chopping of David Foster's The Philosophical Scientists" (2000) Introduction The concept of entropy is generally not well understood among laymen. With the help of several physicists, including Wolfgang Gasser and Malcolm Schreiber, I have composed the following article in an attempt to correct a common misunderstanding.[ ] Contrary to what many laymen think, there is no Law of Entropy which states that order must always decrease. That is a layman's fiction, although born from a small kernel of reality. The actual Law of Entropy is better known as the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The First Law is that energy is not created or destroyed, and the Third Law is that absolute zero cannot be achievedeach of these laws is actually entailed from the first, in conjunction with certain other assumptions. But it is the Second Law that many laymen incorrectly think says that order must always decrease. In traditional thermodynamics, entropy is a measure of the amount of energy in a closed system that is no longer available to effect changes in that system. A system is closed when no energy is being added to or removed from it, and energy becomes unavailable not by leaving the system, but by becoming irretrievably disordered, as a consequence of the laws of statistical mechanics. But even though the total amount of energy that is irretrievably disordered will increase, this does not mean order cannot increase somewhere else in that same system. This is where confusion arises. Of course, entropy can be measured in an open system, too, but this introduces additional variables, and of course the Second Law then no longer applies. But even when the Second Law applies, it is still possible for a closed system to produce order, even highly elaborate order, so long as there is a greater increase in disorder somewhere else in the system.

    Extractions: It's a meeting place of Broodwar gamers like many other communities or channels. People tend to hang around a community or a channel for a while and become organized for a given period by playing together, learning, making friends etc. Then as time passes and the forces of entropy occur, people gradually move on to other channels or move on in life and the disorganization of these associations prevail. The main force of cohesion in entropy is the worship of the Fog of War. Everyone in entropy has a healthy paranoia against hackers. Even after many years of building a reputation as a Fog of War worshiper you will find that your game will always be scrutinized for signs of hacking. If you are caught hacking prepare for public humiliation. However like any group of worshipers they will always try to convert hackers to become Fog of War worshipers. They forgive but never forget.

29. What Is Entropy?
    But it should be remembered that entropy, an idea born from classical thermodynamics, is a quantitative entity, and not a qualitative one.  
    http://www.tim-thompson.com/entropy1.html
    
    Extractions: Introduction: Entropy Defined entropy is what the equations define it to be . There is no such thing as an "entropy", without an equation that defines it. Entropy was born as a state variable in classical thermodynamics. But the advent of statistical mechanics in the late 1800's created a new look for entropy. It did not take long for Claude Shannon to borrow the Boltzmann-Gibbs formulation of entropy, for use in his own work, inventing much of what we now call information theory Entropy and Classical Thermodynamics Classical thermodynamics developed during the 19th century, its primary architects being Sadi Carnot Rudolph Clausius Benoit Claperyon James Clerk Maxwell , and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) . But it was Clausius who first explicitly advanced the idea of entropy On Different Forms of the Fundamental Equations of the Mechanical Theory of Heat The Mechanical Theory of Heat , 1867). The concept was expanded upon by Maxwell (

    Extractions: document.writeln(''); document.writeln('Initializing application...'); Username Password Remember me Forgot your password? Search Site: work . Because work is obtained from ordered molecular motion, the amount of entropy is also a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system. The concept of entropy provides deep insight into the direction of spontaneous change for many everyday phenomena. Its introduction by the German physicist Rudolf Clausius in 1850 is a highlight of 19th-century physics. The idea of entropy provides a mathematical way to encode the intuitive notion of which processes are impossible, even though they would not violate the fundamental law of conservation of energy . For example, a block of ice placed on a hot stove surely melts, while the stove grows cooler. Such a process is called irreversible because no slight change will cause the melted water to turn back into ice while the stove grows hotter. In contrast, a block of ice placed in an ice-water bath will either thaw a little more or freeze a little more, depending on whether a small amount of heat is added to or subtracted from the system. Such a process is reversible because only an infinitesimal amount of heat is needed to change its direction from progressive freezing to progressive thawing. Similarly, compressed gas confined in a cylinder could either expand freely into the atmosphere if a valve were opened (an irreversible process), or it could do useful work by pushing a moveable piston against the force needed to confine the gas. The latter process is reversible because only a slight increase in the restraining force could reverse the direction of the process from expansion to compression. For reversible processes the system is in

    http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/entropy.html
    
    Extractions: If you weren't careful, you might think gravity could violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Start with a bunch of gas in outer space. Suppose it's homogeneously distributed. If it's big enough, it will start clumping up thanks to its gravitational self-attraction. So starting from complete disorder, it looks like we're getting some order! Doesn't this mean that the entropy of the gas is dropping? Well, it's a bit trickier than you might think. First of all, you have to remember that a gas cloud heats up as it collapses gravitationally! The clumping means you know more and more about the positions of the atoms in the cloud. But the heating up means you know less and less about their velocities. So there are two competing effects. It's not obvious which one wins! Let's do a little calculation to see how this works. The trick is to keep things simple so we can easily see what's going on. This requires some idealizations. We'll assume a ball of some ideal gas with volume V and a total of N identical gas atoms in it. We assume these atoms interact only gravitationally, and we use Newtonian physics everywhere. We'll start out by assuming that the cloud is "virialized", meaning that the kinetic energy K and potential energy P are related by

36. EGD: The Entropy Gathering Daemon
    EGD is an entropy Gathering Daemon meant to be used on systems that can run GPG but which don t have this convenient source of random bits.  
    http://egd.sourceforge.net/
    
    Extractions: A userspace substitute for /dev/random, written in perl. One of the nice features of the Linux kernel (and certain *BSD kernels) is the /dev/random device. This is a little character device that gives you random numbers when you read it. In a variety of places scattered throughout the kernel, certain interrupts (network packets arriving, keyboard hits, mouse movement) cause a timestamp and some event information to be hashed into an "entropy pool". The pool, perhaps 4k in size, always contains very random data, but as bits are "stirred" in, a counter is incremented to reflect the fact that the poll is now even more random than before. When you read from /dev/random, you get a hashed portion of the pool, and the counter is decremented. This gives you high quality cryptographically strong random data. The Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG), along with many other encryption routines (pgp, ssh, even the sequence-number selection algorithm used by the kernel's TCP stack), use this device to seed a secure random number generator. Encryption uses lots of random data, and hybrid public-key/ symmetric-cipher encryption uses even more. EGD is an Entropy Gathering Daemon meant to be used on systems that can run GPG but which don't have this convenient source of random bits. It is a regular user-space program that sits around, running programs like 'w' and 'last' and 'vmstat', collecting the randomness (or at least the unpredictability) inherent in the output of these system statistics programs when used on a reasonably busy system. It slowly stirs the output of these gathering programs into a pool of entropy, much like the linux kernel device, and allows other programs to read out random bits from this pool.

    While photovoltaics are still beholden to the laws of thermodynamics and entropy, the difference still implies that they abide by difference rules.

    Extractions: and then filling them back up to operate some widget. Soooo.... last year the federal government of Canada introduced a bunch of new environmental programs . This year, they threw a lot of that out the window . Now we have a new environmental program: legislating projects that produce large quantities of carbon dioxide to employ sequestration . These large sources are coal plants and oil sands developments. The obvious loophole for everyone to observe is that it only applies to projects started after 2011 , and there's evidently no grandfathering. I'm not sure I believe whether they Conservative government actually intends to go through with this. Afterall, they are a minority government and while the opposition has no stomach for a new election, they aren't likely to last until 2011. The proof will really be in the activity in the oil patch. If they all rush to start projects before 2011 and have nothing scheduled after that, then maybe the Conservatives are actually serious.
