RESOLUTION. “The conflict disappears, however, if we postulate that the energy/matter making up the Universe is far from equilibrium, that it exists as an evolving flow, and that the energy/matter flowing through and comprising the Universe evolves from simplicity and disorder to complexity and order via self-organization, in accordance with the empirical laws of nonequilibrium thermodynamics.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn

AT ALL SCALES. “This means that certain organizational structures and processes are scale-invariant and are reproduced at all levels of the organizational hierarchy.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn

THE SOLUTION. “The apparent conflict between the second law of thermodynamics and biological evolution exists only if one assumes that the energy/matter comprising the Universe is near equilibrium and that it evolves toward an equilibrium state via disorganization and disordering, obeying the laws of equilibrium thermodynamics.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn

FRACTAL CORE. “It is postulated that the energy/matter flowing through and comprising the Universe evolves as a multiscale, self-similar structure-process, i.e., as a self-organizing fractal.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn

REFRAMING REALITY. “This work outlines an alternative interpretation/image of reality that brings scientific theory, experimental reality, and our deep-seated beliefs, intuition, and common sense into harmony.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn

ABSURD PURPOSE? “A gloomy future indeed, so that one may ask oneself why to bother, to excel, and to create, and why not simply enjoy by destroying, since this is the natural and inevitable order of things anyway?” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn

DOGMA CONSEQUENCES. “Albeit, how exactly the apparent decrease of entropy on the planet Earth is compensated by an increase in entropy somewhere else is less clear. Since "somewhere else" can potentially include the whole Universe, the Universe as a whole is believed to undergo natural disorganization on the way to its final destination, i.e., to a state of maximum entropy, where all changes will cease, and disorder and simplicity will prevail forever.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn

THE DOGMA. “The apparent conflict between theory and empirical reality is normally dismissed by pointing out that the second law does not really contradict biological evolution because local decreases in entropy (i.e., ordering) are possible as long as there are compensating increases in entropy (i.e., disordering) somewhere else, so that net entropy always increases.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn
