even if entropy has no upper limit, isn't there a point where it will have
increased sufficiently to have extinguished life, admittedly the universe
will continue on but thats small comfort to a one sun solar system if life
as we know it dies out.Dynamic Quality is evolution and the threat of such
an occurence motivates/forces breakthrough's in technology necessary to
escape the catastrophic environment, thus on some level I view entropy as an
anti-force to DQ.
Eagerly await your essay.

Hi Jonathan,
many thanks for your adjustments on my post. Hope you forgive my naiveness.

oopsss... hope I've not disclosed any secret! :-)

Ah, Ok. [And thanks also for the rectification about the decreasing entropy,
which is, obviously, increasing]
Actually, I have in my mind the gas expansion, that is a classical picture
used to explain entropy. That's why, maybe, I'm so fixed about volume.
The particularity of universe is that the system is not expanding IN space.
It's expanding space itself! The NEW space is necessarily empty, thus, we
have new order. Immediately, mass and energy will fill it, creating new
disorder. In few words, all we have to do is simply invent a machine to
convert the expansion of universe into heat :-)
Waiting for your (more serious than my message) essay....
bye, Marco
