Dear Colleagues, I am sending you the information. Have a look at it please. What do you think about this information? Sincerely, Georgi Gladyshev Professor of Physical Chemistry Misunderstandings in ideas about entropy Many misunderstandings in understanding the problems of life and evolution from the standpoint of physics and physical chemistry are typically associated with misconceptions in understanding entropy. The term entropy coined Rudolf Clausius. According to his model of the world (universe), he presented a statement: The energy of the world is constant. The entropy of the world tends to the maximum. Later this statement was chosen by JW Gibbs as an epigraph to the paper On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances. These scientists have given this statement in relation to their model of the universe. This model corresponds to a simple isolated system of ideal gas, i.e. isolated system of ideal gas, energy and volume of this system are constant and in which only the work of expansion is performed. Entropy of such a system can only increase! It should be noted that when we say on ideal model, which would correspond to the real universe, it would be necessary to accept the unreal assumption that any form of energy real universe will be transformed into thermal energy. Only in this case, also under additional unrealistic assumptions, the real universe would turn into the model of ideal system of Clausius - Gibbs. However, lovers of science have applied representations on simple systems to systems of other types, in which the interactions takes place between particles of different nature (interactions of molecules or other objects of different hierarchies) and to systems which interact with the environment. Some scientists, who are not professionals in the relevant fields of knowledge, have not escaped such errors. This has led to unimaginable confusion. This has slowed down the development of science, more than on a century. There are thousands of publications in scientific journals and popular literature containing marked misunderstandings. To these were added incorrect ideas on the negentropy and on the dissipative structures in the living world. The origin of life and its evolution can be easily explained from the standpoint of hierarchical near equilibrium thermodynamics of complex dynamic systems. This thermodynamics established on a solid foundation of equilibrium thermodynamics - thermodynamics of Rudolf Clausius, JW Gibbs and other great scientists. membrana.ru/particle/17266 eoht.info/page/Entropy+%28misinterpretations%29 youtube/watch?v=CYr1G5TZO50 Detailing theories about the origin of life and evolution is presented in the new sites (Knol moved to Wordpress): Some work: gladyshevevolution.wordpress/ creatacad.org/?id=48&lng=eng ru.scribd/doc/87069230/Report-Ok-16-11-2011
