and i call the words of eddington who said that if you had a theory that disagrees with isaac newton, that's a great theory. if you have a theory that disagrees with relativity, you've changed the world, that's great. but if your theory disagrees with the second law of thermodynamics, i can offer you no hope. i can't help you. and the second law of thermodynamics is basically is where you lose energy to heat. this is why car engines are about 30% efficient. that's it, thermodynamically. that's why you want the hottest explosion you can get in the coldest outside environment. you have to have a difference between hot and cold and that difference can be assessed scientifically and mathematically with this word entropy, this disorder of molecules but the fundamental thing that this questioner has missed is that the earth is not a closed system. so there's energy pouring in here from the sun, if i may day and night, cause at night it's pouring in on the other side and so that energy is what drives living things on earth especially for in our case plants. by the way, if you're here in kent

>> it is fantastic and i called the words of eddington who said if you have a theory that disagrees with isaac newton, that is a great theory. if you have a theory that agrees with disability that's great. but if your theory disagrees with the second lot of thermodynamics, i can offer you no hope. i can't help you. it basically is where you lose energy to heat. this is like car engines are about 30% efficient. that's it thermodynamically. that is why you want the hottest explosion you can get in the coldest outside environment. that can be assessed with the word entropy. the fundamental thing that this questioner has missed is the earth is not a closed system. so there's energy pouring in here on this underside made samnite because the night is pouring in on on the other side. so that energy is what drives living things on earth, especially on our earth plans. by the way, if you are here in kentucky, about a third and maybe a half of the oxygen you breathe is made in the ocean and they get their energy from the sun. the second law of thermodynamics is a wonderful thing that has allowed u
