Entropy Thermodynamics Debate
Discussions center on entropy, the second law of thermodynamics, common misconceptions about reversing entropy, and its application to closed vs. open systems like Earth or biology.

but the increase of entropy isn't an illusion
That's not how entropy works.
Maybe the laws of thermodynamics?
Energy means nothing without knowing it's entropy!
Entropy is a measure, it doesn't create anything. This is highly misleading.
No, they are lost forever... Humm... Wait I have an idea:Prompt: How can entropy be reversed?Reply: There is no single answer to this question as entropy is a thermodynamic property and therefore its reversal depends on the specific system under consideration. In general, however, entropy can be reversed by either increasing the temperature of the system (thus increasing the average kinetic energy of the particles) or by decreasing the volume of the system (thus increasing the number of co
"Is there any way to reverse entropy?"
Why should I contribute to an increasing entropy?
Entropy cannot be opposed. That's fundamental law of physics.
Any entropy reduction activity in one area automatically means a lot more heat is added somewhere else :) (2nd law)
