The total energy of the universe is constant; the total entropy is continually increasing. — Rudolf Clausius Copy Share Image
Just as the constant increase of entropy is the basic law of the universe, so it is the basic law of life to be… — Vaclav Havel Copy Share Image
If we assume there is no maximum possible entropy for the universe, then any state can be a state of low entropy. — Alan Guth Copy Share Image
All things tend toward entropy. The whole universe is moving outward, the stars pulling away from one another, God knows what falling through the… — Cassandra Clare Copy Share Image
The fundamental laws of the universe which correspond to the two fundamental theorems of the mechanical theory of heat. 1. The energy of the… — Anonymous Copy Share Image
The universe is based on sullen entropy; It falls apart as it goes on — Robyn Hitchcock Copy Share Image
The total disorder in the universe, as measured by the quantity that physicists call entropy, increases steadily over time. Also, the total order in… — Freeman Dyson Copy Share Image
“The law that entropy always increases, holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. … if your theory is found to… — Arthur Stanley Eddington Copy Share Image
“The law that entropy always increases holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations - then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation - well, these experimentalists do bungle… — Arthur Eddington Copy Share
For since the fabric of the universe is most perfect and the work of a most wise Creator, nothing at all takes place in… — Leonhard Euler Copy Share Image
The algebraic sum of all the transformations occurring in a cyclical process can only be positive, or, as an extreme case, equal to nothing.… — Rudolf Clausius Copy Share Image
In all cases where work is produced by heat, a quantity of heat proportional to the work done is expended; and inversely, by the… — Rudolf Clausius Copy Share Image
The entropy of an isolated system not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium. — Rudolf Clausius Copy Share Image
Heat can never pass from a colder to a warmer body without some other change, connected therewith, occurring at the same time. — Rudolf Clausius Copy Share Image
The total energy of the universe is constant; the total entropy is continually increasing. — Rudolf Clausius Copy Share Image
Systems program building is an entropy-decreasing process, hence inherently metastable. Program maintenance is an entropy-increasing process, and even its most skillful execution only delays… — Anonymous Copy Share Image
We could not, for example, arrive at a principle like that of entropy without introducing some additional principle, such as randomness, to this topography. — Michael Polanyi Copy Share Image
“What I have said about the newspapers and the movies applies equally to the radio, to television, and even to bookselling. Thus we are in an age where the enormous per capita bulk of communication is met by an ever-thinning stream of total bulk of communication. More and more we must accept a standardized inoffensive and insignificant product which, like… — Norbert Wiener Copy Share
What's important is how we use our time on this earth, not how conspicuously we give our money away. What's important is the energy… — Dan Pallotta Copy Share Image
You know, entropy is associated thermodynamically, in systems involving heat, with disorder. And in an analogous way, information is associated with disorder, which seems… — James Gleick Copy Share Image
The increase of disorder or entropy is what distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
“It is very desirable to have a word to express the Availability for work of the heat in a given magazine; a term for that possession, the waste of which is called Dissipation. Unfortunately the excellent word Entropy, which Clausius has introduced in this connexion, is applied by him to the negative of the idea we most naturally wish to… — Peter Guthrie Tait Copy Share
“One thing seems certain. Our galaxy is now in the brief springtime of its life—a springtime made glorious by such brilliant blue-white stars as Vega and Sirius, and, on a more humble scale, our own Sun. Not until all these have flamed through their incandescent youth, in a few fleeting billions of years, will the real history of the universe… — Arthur C. Clarke Copy Share
Entropy theory, on the other hand, is not concerned with the probability of succession in a series of items but with the overall distribution… — Rudolf Arnheim Copy Share Image
The general struggle for existence of animate beings is not a struggle for raw materials, these for organisms are air water & soil, all abundantly available, nor for energy which exists in plenty in the sun and any hot body in the form of heat, but rather a struggle for entropy, which becomes available through the transition of energy from… — Ludwig Boltzmann Copy Share
I think you should always bear in mind that entropy is not on your side. — Elon Musk Copy Share Image
Software is like entropy. It is difficult to grasp, weighs nothing, and obeys the second law of thermodynamics; i.e. it always increases. — Norman Ralph Augustine Copy Share Image
