Does this equation make you wanna cry too or is it just me?

I never understood why people say this equation means that the universe will end
>ΔS>0
this clearly means the universe will end
>ΔS=0
this doesn't. just figure out a way to create life through reversible thermodynamic reactions

not at all. extrapolating it backwards is an exercise in wonder and one of the deep mysteries of the universe, and extrapolating it forwards feels like it breathes life into a universe that will one day essentially die.
more over, the extreme past and distant future in some ways resemble one another, perhaps maximum entropy is not so different from minimum entropy.

Malthus was a thought experiment that failed 300 years ago.

>expand the boundaries of the system you're measuring
>entropy decreases
Heh, nothin personnel

It was on it's way out anyway, it doesn't matter about an increase in entropy when the balance is over the top of us.

how do you even expand the boundaries of the universe?
