Another day has passed by and science still hasn't figured out how to reverse entropy and avoid the heat death of the universe

it reverses itself with each cycle, dum dum

>reverse entropy
That wouod mean time control and time is not physically real.
>avoid the heat death
That would mean holding true, absolute zero and nothing happens at all anyways

Just get the fuck over it. Have some kids congrats you avoided the death of your universe.

Entropy does not apply to an entire universe

can you have a localized big bang, though?

our big bang have created a spacetime with finite amount of potential work in it - seemingly out of nothing. if we could recreate the conditions which produce spacetime, we could have a box with free work inside it. even if you couldn't get the work out of the box, you could just move into the box.

Don't worry, if we manage not to destroy ourselves sun will swallow us in few billion years. That's unless we don't freeze first.

All you need would be a fission process that produces hydrogen while being exergonic or at least wouldn't consume more energy than what the produced hydrogen could deliver.
Though not yet observed in our universe, I bet if you put common matter in a system with very (very!) high temperature and low pressure then the matter would go into a plasma phase and transform or decay into hydrogen again.
This process would (if applied at a galactic scale) replenish the hydrogen in the universe and could start star creation a new. No time fuckery required.

Problem of course would be creating these reaction conditions. I'll hope for a thermic runaway system by the fission process once the matter decays.
Also this wouldn't solve other factors if cosmic 'constants' were about to change (dark energy, expansion rate of the universe, ...).

Our goal is to accelerate the heat death of the universe by dissipating entropy as much as possible. That's what it means to be alive. You, meerkats, plankton, dandelions, ChatGPT, krill, refrigerators, we're all in this together.
>>
if humans in the far future wanted to slow down entropy, what would they do first?
I find it a waste that so many stars are burning right now when we could keep them all of except for ours and turn them on one at a time when the last one died

We'd believe in a being of infinite negative entropy who created the universe and sent his son to die for us so we get to meet them when we die.

Reversing entropy would be so efficient that its value would get over 1, and that means out of the rules of physics
Overall I would say it will never be possible due to the limits of our world and the second rule of thermodynamics
And avoiding heat death? I didn't understand what you meant by it, maybe because of poor translation but anyways, reversing entropy will only be possible in an event like being pulled to a blackhole
But for that, you're a soaked sponge by blood and flesh trying to fit in an extremely small hole, what will happen? Sponge will barely fit but all the insidings will splash out and simply you need to have a GIGANTIC black hole to reverse entropy because it's limited to the universe itself

>sun will swallow us in few billion years
the Earth is only about half a billion years from being well inside the "goldilocks zone" and our oceans beginning to boil, that is this planet's hard limit

>if we could recreate the conditions which produce spacetime
there are no "conditions" before the big bang - there is nothing tangible for you to work with as far as we know.
>with finite amount of potential work in it - seemingly out of nothing
which is a total unknown, so you have no steps to replicate it. it's unlikely this question will ever be properly answered.

Can you scientifically demonstrate there was a time before right now?
>>
>>17012795
Heat death is a meme, nothing goes on forever with this world and that includes the whole universe itself. Big Crunch is how the universe ends but retards keep making the theory seem like a joke by tying it together with eternal return / reincarnation bullshit. The universe collapses and disappears in the end. Does it return? Who knows, but if it did it wouldn't be the same.

Sort your sock drawer
There, you just solved entropy :^)

That's intelligent design! That's not science, schizo! ;)
