You can hear the ratchet clicking at 1:19 "Negentropy is reverse entropy. It means things becoming more in order. By 'order' is meant organisation, structure and function: the opposite of randomness or chaos. One example of negentropy is a star system such as the Solar System. Another example is life.
As a general rule, everything in the universe tends towards entropy. Star systems eventually become dead. All energy has gone, and everything in the system is at the temperature of the surrounding space. The opposite of entropy is negentropy. It is a temporary condition in which certain things are hotter and more highly organised than the surrounding space. This is the second law of thermodynamics:" It's not out of the barrel yet though, no one can say for sure the universe will lose negentropy. It may allow immortality.Stars grow in mass and hog matter and energy, don't they, but they give it BACK when they get too big and ignite into stars and give off heat bursts :) ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Tde25a2a6567c862c-M1628349f12356533ffdaf488 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
