>>We can do that for the solar system not because its
interactions with its surroundings are negligeable but because they are probably
decreasing entropy in its surroundings rather than the reverse.<<
Why is that?
Incidentally my premise for saying intelligent life couldn't evolve again is (a)
because the length of time required is probably too great and (b) because startying
ab initio would require replicating conditions early on in rthe life of the planet
(impossible). Of course, I suppose that some other species than our own which is
already well developed, might fill the niche left by our extinction, but it is hard
to see what.
