[QUOTE="Peregrini, post: 48624, member: 2670"] I don't have time this morning to give you the complete answer which you deserve. I will try this evening. Here for now is a bit more on my reason. Last time I checked the second law of thermodynamics was pretty valid. Thermodynamic entropy is a non-conserved state function that is of great importance in the sciences of physics and chemistry.[4][5] [COLOR=#ffff00]Historically, the concept of entropy evolved in order to explain why some processes (permitted by conservation laws) occur spontaneously while their time reversals (also permitted by conservation laws) do not; systems tend to progress in the direction of increasing entropy.[6][7] For isolated systems, entropy never decreases.[5] This fact has several important consequences in science: first, it prohibits "perpetual motion" machines; and second, it implies the arrow of entropy has the same directionality as the arrow of time.[/COLOR] Increases in entropy correspond to irreversible changes in a system, because some energy is expended as waste heat, limiting the amount of work a system can do..[4][8][8][9][10][11] 4.^ a b c McGraw-Hill Concise Encyclopedia of Chemistry, 2004 5.^ a b Sandler S.
