[Krimel} Why yes Ham I for one have thought about it quite a bit. It does not hold up for two reasons. The earliest and easiest is thermodynamics. It holds that time is not reversible. The reason is that the overall rise in disorder over times means that energy dissipated as heat can not be returned to its previous states of order.
[Ron] Absolute versus Statistical reversibility Thermodynamics defines the statistical behaviour of large numbers of entities, whose exact behavior is given by more specific laws. Since the fundamental laws of physics are all time-reversible,[1] it can be argued that the irreversibility of thermodynamics must be statistical in nature, that is, that it must be merely highly unlikely, but not impossible, that a system will lower in entropy.-wiki [Krimel] Interesting that thermodynamics was the first non-classical theory. It introduced both non-reversible time and probability into physics at the same time and this was nearly a century before the advent of quantum mechanics. In the mean time if you could find a way to reverse entropy that would pretty much destroy all current economic systems wouldn't it? [Ron] I'm not questioning the reversal of time as much as the dissipation of radiant energy, some of which is absorbed into surrounding atoms, the question I have is it dissipation into nothing or is it A matter of the dissipation is so ongoing that it becomes immeasurable. Does energy decay or does it transform constantly? moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
