True of False? When you've seen one entropy, you've seen them all. (Strange Universe Series - 2011).

Asked by ETpro (34605points) October 2nd, 2011

It’s OK to just enter an opinion, but if you are able to discuss your reasons for thinking true or false, I would really appreciate the insight. I’m interested in exploring how things move from the strictly deterministic starting point where a perfect understanding of ALL initial conditions would give us direct insight into how a complex dynamical system will evolve over time, to its inevitable final condition per the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics? —absolute entropy.

This question is the 7th in the Strange Universe Series – 2011 questions. Here are the previous Strange Universe Series—2011 questions:
1—How do you envision space in more than 3 dimensions, then rotate it to see what happens?
2—How can we be certain the Uncertainty Principle is certain?
3—If the universe is infinite, how big is what it is expanding into?
4—In an expanding universe, how do separate galaxies manage to collide?
5—Since space is expanding and is linked to time, isn’t time expanding as well?
6—How can space expand between individual hydrogen atoms?

The entire Strange Universe 2010 Series of 20 questions can be found from here.
