Ignorance and the Bible

No one is confused about the downshift in UV to IR photons. But if that were the precipitating factor for life you'd think life would be far more easily found across our planetary system and the universe.

Just handwaving about entropy = nothing in the prevalence of life.

And besides: given the fact that we have this giant sun pumping energy into our system, why does life need entropy to decrease in order to form?

Seems that the impact of entropy is less important than the addition of energy.

It took Perry an hour of frantic googling and Grok AI to come up with that post. LOL

Only 90 minutes ago, Perry yelled at me that he never heard of the second law of thermodynamics/entropy favoring life over inanimate matter, LOL
entropy favors biological life over inanimate matter,
Where did you get this? I've never heard that!

The way I remember it is because life takes a low entropy energy source (sunlight), and metabolizes and radiates it into a higher entropy energy form. Therefore it accords with the second law of thermodynamics.

No, I knew all about the downshift. What I didn't know was Sean Carroll.

I mean you can calculate it. I'd show you the equation but you wouldn't understand it. :)

Hey, you wanna try answering my Question or just keep on in your circle jerk with your buddy?

Why is entropy required to decrease for life to exist?
 
WTF? "low entropy source" = sunlight? What are you on about. SUnlight is ENERGY.

You didn't even know sunlight aka solar radiation has entropy, lol

I still struggle with radiation having entropy. Needless to say in my brief association with thermo I never heard anyone talk about the entropy of radiation.

Maybe if you could explain it (nah, I know you can't. LOL. I know that because all you've done so far is scream "Sean Carroll! Sean Carroll!" and quote him. You don't understand the topic and I know this. I'm just curious when you are going to finally admit it)

1) You couldn't believe me when I wrote entropy favors life over inanimate matter;

2) You laughed at me for stating sunlight has low entropy;

3) And you snickered when I wrote biological life takes low entropy energy and radiates high entropy energy.

4) And then I showed you the theoretical physicist Sean Carroll corroborated everything I wrote, exactly.


I guess it took you 90 minutes of Goggling and Grok AI to catch up to me.

But even after realizing I was correct, you are the type of person that can never concede I was right
:laugh:

Thanks for admitting you don’t understand this stuff.

Did I call it or what? Lolol
 
I still struggle with radiation having entropy!
Still can't concede I was correct? What are you, ten years old?

I'm not here to teach you sophomore level physics, nor am I qualified to be a physics professor.

You should have invested your own time reading about physics, history, religion if this is really that important to you.

It is sufficient to say that any collection of particles has entropy. This may come as a shock to you, but sunlight and infrared radiation are composed of wave-like particles called photons.

Why should I??? You don't even understand the topic! All you do is whine about how you screamed "Sean Carroll".

Again, thanks for the clear indication that all you did was google and that you don't understand this at all.
 
So Perry admits to being the kind of poster who can't admit another person was correct.

Look, Cy, you woke up this AM whining about me. I know it upsets you that people see the limits of your erudition. I can't help that. Just give it a rest. You lost this one, just accept it and move on.

You don't know entropy from a hole in the ground except for the stuff you had in high school chemistry. That's it. But you show up on here trying to make it sound like you are something else.

And when backed into a corner you make up a story that I've got a sock named Perry (no one on here is called that, I checked) and start non-stop whining.

Give it a rest. Find something else to do with your time. Debating science ain't that.
 
Only a nine year old boy is too immature and petulant to admit when the other person was correct.

Wow. This is weird. You really are upset. You need help, Cy. If a stupid discussion forum has you spinning out from the minute you get up in the morning you might need to re-evaluate your daily schedule. This is more than a bit obsessive.

Get help.

Think about what you wrote there, gmark77...and then count the number of posts you have made to him just in this thread. We all have our favorite morons to aim at...like...uhh, you are one of mine.

So ease up yourself. Don't let your panties wad up in the crack. Ease back and enjoy a slice of the entropy.
