Not because of anything the globe is doing, but rather because our politicians have all gone stark raving mad because of it. Obama's Upcoming Inflation Crunch It is a truism that government spending cannot create wealth. Yet some economists, following John Maynard Keynes, believe that government spending leads to disproportionately higher private spendinga so-called "multiplier effect" that creates wealth.

Why do people believe in God? Where does the concept of God come from? Why do people believe in God? In this article, I will try to avoid political questions and simply speculate, from a scientific point of view, where the concept of a God might have originated. Ben Stein's Curious Post-Modernist Adventure Is the theory of evolution responsible for the Nazi Holocaust? To scientists, the idea is as ludicrous as the idea that Marie Curie is responsible for the atomic bomb, the idea that the theory of gravity is responsible for wiping out the dinosaurs, or the idea that "2+2=4" is responsible for four-wheel drive.

104. Entropy: The Ultimate And Most Pervasive Law Of Nature entropy, as expressed by the Second Law of Thermodynamics, is an all pervasive natural force, similar to gravity or electro magnetism. Its attributes involve the flow of what http://www.rationality.net/entropy.htm

Entropy, as expressed by the Second Law of Thermodynamics, is an all pervasive natural force, similar in importance to gravity or electro- magnetism. Its attributes involve the flow of what we call "time". It shows why time travel is impossible and why water only runs downhill. Entropy permeates all aspects of human existence. Entropy explains why it is easy to lose money and difficult to make money. Entropy is the force behind Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong, must go wrong. Excerpt from Book: "How Life Really Works" Appendix A Entropy Is time-travel impossible? Why does water only run downhill? Why is it easy to lose money but difficult to acquire it? The answer to these and many other puzzling questions rests in the Second Law of Thermodynamics, in Entropy. The so-called Second Law relates closely to the term Entropy. An understanding of this fundamental law of nature and its ramification provides great insights in the way the world really works. Entropy, as expressed by the Second Law, is the ultimate Natural Law because it determines the flow of what we call "time". Thus, entropy deals with the very existence of the universe. The term entropy describes phenomena that have the most profound effect on all events in human existence, including our ability to achieve happiness by aligning ourselves with Objective Reality. The Second Law holds a unique position in science because it has never evolved from a theory such as the Theory of Relativity or the Theory of Quantum Mechanics. The Second Law is empirical. There is no fully satisfactory theoretical proof for the Second Law, although there are some connections to Quantum Mechanics, Probability and Relativity. Once a Unified Field Theory, the Theory of Everything, is developed, it will and must account for Entropy. Many scientists, who claimed that this Law is paradoxical in nature, have tried to attack it. However, in all instances the alleged paradoxes were due to faulty reasoning. The Second Law has prevailed and has established itself as the most fundamental of all Natural Laws.

105. The Second Law Of Thermodynamics. By Brig Klyce A rather puzzling article by Brig Klyce about entropy with references to living systems from the point of view of thermodynamics and information theory. http://www.panspermia.com/seconlaw.htm

COSMIC ANCESTRY Quick Guide Next The Second Law of Thermodynamics What'sNEW Morowitz The use of thermodynamics in biology has a long history rich in confusion. Sometimes people say that life violates the second law of thermodynamics. This is not the case; we know of nothing in the universe that violates that law. So why do people say that life violates the second law of thermodynamics? What is the second law of thermodynamics? According to philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn, the second law was first put into words by two scientists, Rudolph Clausius and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), using different examples, in 1850-51 . American quantum physicist Richard P. Feynman, however, says the French physicist Sadi Carnot discovered the second law 25 years earlier . That would have been before the first law, conservation of energy, was discovered! In any case, modern scientists completely agree about the above principles. Thermodynamic Entropy The first opportunity for confusion arises when we introduce the term entropy into the mix. Clausius invented the term in 1865. He had noticed that a certain ratio was constant in reversible, or ideal, heat cycles. The ratio was heat exchanged to absolute temperature. Clausius decided that the conserved ratio must correspond to a real, physical quantity, and he named it "entropy".

Marina Meila CURRENT RESEARCH PAPERS STUDENTS CLASSES ... CONTACT OVERVIEW I work on machine learning by probabilistic methods and reasoning in uncertainty. In this area, it is particularly important to develop computationally aware methods and theories. In this sense, my research is at the frontier between the sciences of computing and statistics. I am particularly interested in combinatorics, algorithms and optimization, on the computing side, and in solving data analysis problems with many variables and combinatorial structure. INTRANSITIVITY IN CLASSIFICATION AND CHOICE It has been often noted that people's choices are not transitive: in other words, their preferences between K objects are not consistent with an ordering. Economic theory of choice has introduced various theories explaining how the observed intransitivity may arise. However, there is no work to date on how one may infer these models from data. Among the things I want to do: to formulate estimation problems for the hidden context and other models of intransitivity that are relevant to practical domains; to define when the model is identifyable (it may not be when the number of components K is large) and to design rigorously founded algorithms to estimate it. This problem is also of relevance to artificial systems, like multiclass classifiers. One common approach to deciding between K classes is to construct several binary classiffiers and then to combine their output. Since there often is no way to constrain the binary classifiers' otuputs to be consistent with an ordering, the problem is naturally one of dealing with intransitive ``preferences''. Joint work with

Notice entropysimple.com is now http://entropysimple.oxy.edu . Please update your links and bookmarks. Frank L. Lambert, Professor Emeritus (Chemistry) Occidental College, Los Angeles February 2008 Reproduction or excerpts permitted if request is made to Introduction Entropy also is simple to describe and explain qualitatively. (Entropy in quantitative thermodynamics is more difficult and often complex.) However, to begin our qualitative approach we must avoid the briar patches involving the second law and entropy that have been planted all over acres of book pages and Web sites. For those who prefer conclusions before explanations: The second law of thermodynamics says that energy of all kinds in our material world disperses or spreads out if it is not hindered from doing so. Entropy is the quantitative measure of that kind of spontaneous process: how much energy has flowed from being localized to becoming more widely spread out (at a specific temperature). This article will use many everyday examples to illustrate those conclusions and briefly relate them to atomic and molecular behavior.

Sign Up Discuss in my Forum Entropy By Andrew Zimmerman Jones , About.com Guide See More About: thermodynamics energy zSB(3,3) Definition: Entropy is the quantitative measure of disorder in a system. The concept comes out of thermodynamics , which deals with the transfer of heat energy within a system. Instead of talking about some form of "absolute entropy," physicists generally talk about the change in entropy that takes place in a specific thermodynamic process. Calculating Entropy In an isothermal process , the change in entropy (delta- S ) is the change in heat ( Q ) divided by the absolute temperature ( T delta- S Q T In any reversible thermodynamic process, it can be represented in calculus as the integral from a processes initial state to final state of dQ T The SI units of entropy are J/K (joules/degrees Kelvin). One way of stating the second law of thermodynamics is: In any closed system, the entropy of the system will either remain constant or increase.
