Created page with "==Full Title or Meme== The entropy of isolated systems left to spontaneous evolution cannot decrease, as they always arrive at a state of thermodynamic equilibrium where the e..."

New page

==Full Title or Meme==
The entropy of isolated systems left to spontaneous evolution cannot decrease, as they always arrive at a state of thermodynamic equilibrium where the entropy is highest at the given internal energy.

==Context==
In communications and information sciences, the [[Second Law of Thermodynamics]] is typically address as a statement about information.

This new view according to Yunger Halpern is this is just the discarding of information — or the inability to keep track of it — is really the reason why the second law holds.

 ==Context==
 * The original purpose of the [[Second Law of Thermodynamics]] was by Carnot in the determination of the maximum efficiency of steam engines.
 * Boltzmann argued that the Second Law is statistical in nature and stated that while systems with increasing are possible, their occurrence could be assigned an ''extremely'' low probability.
