Thermodynamics:
Branch of science concerned with heat and it's associated relationships to a system through variables like temperature and pressure.
Entropy:
A thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.
The second law of thermodynamics says that entropy always increases with time.
Why would this be an assumption, there is so much evidence for it? To be honest it is not an assumption the assumption comes in somewhere else, through astronomy, where heat and energy are given origins. That frames the second law.
It's actually quite unusual for me to place one of the laws of thermodynamics in this series. Usually I reserve this space for the clear cases of layered assumptions stemming from the highly flawed LAMBDA-CDM Cosmology model, the standard model which is so obviously flawed that it's fated to produce ever increasing sanctioned lunacy parading as science as time goes on.
The longer it (the standard model) survives in the face of incoming evidence, the more bizarre the science will become trying to interpret incoming data through the lense of a model which completely ignores the most influential force in nature, and tries to use the weakest force, gravity, to explain everything. I see it as I would if a sports journalist tried to build a career covering the heavyweight boxing division without ever mentioning boxing ability, hand-speed, power or fitness and instead released a write up of every title bout through the prism of how a fighters singing skills and colour of their trunks decided the outcome, especially when a KO is involved.
However, there is a connection to the assumption saturated standard model. That connection lies in the assumption of the creation miracle known as "The Big Bang" which leads to the eventual heat death of the universe. With these parameters it's pre-ordained that all energy eventually degrades to unusable, low grade forms. This would have an obvious affect on how we interpret the degrading of energy and orderliness from the misunderstood assumption of radiation from thermonuclear fusion core stars to discarded waste on planets, moons and asteroids.
But if this is not the case, if, as outlined in this post, ionised plasma which forms the cosmic web and guides the formation of stars in filaments, and the rotation of galaxies, is self organising with its own engines of charge seperation in plasmoids, then we need a re-think.
Does this mean that entropy always increases? Perhaps so, or at least it does in all lower orders of magnitude. To be certain it does so fundamentally I don't believe we can be so sure. This is immediately thrust into question if the big bang is brought into question as I did in this post.
I'll leave it to you to decide since I don't reckon I have the technical pedigree to reach a conclusion, but we all have the right to (and should) ask questions.
