What is Entropy from first principals?

Fri, 08 Mar 1996

Entropy is an interesting concept in physics. It is a measure of the reversibility of a process. All real macroscopic processes involve some amount of innefficiency. Energy is conserved as far as the balance of mass plus energy before a process equalling the sum after, but the amount of mass and the amount of energy individually may change. In other words, if you fuse two nuclei of Deuterium creating helium (I don't want to address real reaction products or their probabilities here), there will be a reduction in the overall mass of the nuclei and an emission of energy in the form of accelerated particles, better known as heat and/or gamma ray photons and other electromagnetic energy. This heat results in a measured higher temperature of the involved particles which is, if you go back to the definition of temperature, just another way of macroscopically measuring the fact that the involved particles are moving faster.

Enough of the basics. What is sometimes forgotten is that not only nuclear, but as well, exothermic chemical reactions result in a reduction of mass of the involved atomic and molecular species. This makes sense, if we get energy out, energy and mass are equated, so we must have used up some mass to get the energy. Where did it go?

In our current system of physics where we believe in the magic of fields that exist in an empty vacuum, there is no answer and so entropy is a mystery. If, on the other hand, space is full of a highly pressurized aether full of vibrational energy, and particles are condensed from this aether, then the above finally becomes intuitive. By vaporizing a portion of the mass of our matter we increase the ambient **static** pressure of the vibrating aether vapor.

If you think about it, this is required in our current Universal epoch because our universe is expanding and therefore reducing the ambient pressure of the aether surrounding us and confining our matter. Matter is vaporizing bit by bit to fill this reduction and to maintain the stability of the fabric of space and time itself.

So, Entropy is the one way vaporization of condensed aether (matter) into vaporized aether (energy, note; the vaporization of the mass comes out of the particle like a jet and therefore accelerates the particles and what we call energy is a measure of this kinetic energy, or temperature. Why this is so is discussed in other posts and elsewhere).

With this definition, there is a continuous and intuitive understanding of the process of releasing energy and of what entropy IS.
