petrushka.googol Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Life mimics the Universe. Here are some illustrations of the same, expressed as entropic changes. The Foetus. Represents an increase in entropy. Creation of two life forms from one. Birth. Represents an increase in entropy. Creation of two physical entities from one. Growth. Increase in height, weight and other physical parameters. Represents change from the base state of infant. Aging. Cell metabolism and geriatric changes represent a change in physical state from a more stable one to a less stable one. Also count mental degeneration like senility.' Sickness. Cell wear and tear produce harmful changes in the organism, more evident in malignant tumors. (cancers). Death. The most cataclysmic entropic change. The state of being alive changes to the state of being dead. Is this sheer coincidence or some inherent Universal Law operating at the micro-cosmic level ? Please opine.

DrP Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I don't understand how the 'Sickness' bullet point is supposed to mimic the universe. (or some of the others as it goes). When you mention 'the creation of two life forms from one' - do you mean cells splitting and multiplying? Again - how does this 'mimic' the universe?

Phi for All Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Is this sheer coincidence\ YES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 OTOH, it's no coincidence that things on different scales follow the laws of nature. But in the broader picture, the OP is another example of asking questions based on criteria that have not been established to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrushka.googol Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 I don't understand how the 'Sickness' bullet point is supposed to mimic the universe.

Sickness increases the entropy of a system as disease symptoms disturb the stability of the "human physical system". (if you could visualize that as such). Creation of another organized system (foetus) within a quasi-stable one (the mother) requires additional energy expenditure and physical trauma. Think of the creation of a satellite from a parent proto-planet. The parent child creation involves an entropic change and the creation of two physical entities from one. Two..is more entropic than one, three more than two and so on...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
