Time dialation an escape of entropy? Rate Topic: -----

Could one think of a time dialation as an escape of entropy within the relative field of spacial distortion?
Such as: the entropy flowing around a galaxie is disturbed by the entropy flowing out and within the galaxie.

What do you mean by "an escape of entropy"? Entropy isn't some kind of material which can leak.

There is an old science fiction book called "The World at the End of time" by Frederik Pohl that deals with what you are suggesting, i think it does. It's about a star system accelerated to nearly the speed of light so that by the time all the stars in the universe have gone dead this one star is still shining due to it's speed...

Entrop is a thermodynamic property to do with energy that can't be used for work in a system, if that energy "leaked" into another system it would still not be usable energy.

Tequila can be liquid entropy sometimes.
You've come a long way. Remember back when we defined what a velocity meant? Now we are talking about an antisymmetric tensor of second rank in four dimensions.

Let's say two massive objects are headed towards each other, near the speed of light, on a certain plane of space time. The space inbetween them must expand to preserve the laws of relativity and we perceive a velocity time dialation.
It seems to me that the expansion of space within the relative plane would cause a "cooling" effect as the particles excitment, or energy level, within the plane, remains the same. I don't no, just a novice thought.

And here's another novice thought, it seems to me that; The energy being used to move these objects towards each other, should create a membrane of relative space between them. An observer standing outside of this membrane should see the objects moving towards each other at a velocity faster than light, while obervers within the membrane should see the abjects moveing towards each other at the speed of light. But I don't know. I'd like to hear from some experts on the subject.

Still thinking about it; I guess a hundred degrees is a hundred degrees both inside and outside of the membrane of dialation. If the teqiula boils at at a hundred degrees outside, it will boil at a hundred inside. So, what gives? Perhaps the excitment level of vacuum energy itself?
