In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

The principle of nondecreasing entropy in isolated systems, which is one of the formulations of the much-talked-about second law of thermodynamics, can be violated: It turns out that the entropy of a ...

The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy, a measure of randomness, cannot decrease in a isolated system. Our planet is not a isolated system. Er, that’s it. There are longer ways of saying ...

A deep understanding of the irreversibility of the arrow of time cannot ignore the quantum nature of the world that surrounds us. A deep understanding of the irreversibility of the arrow of time ...
