My understanding of it is that it wouldn't reach zero Kelvin. The heat only becomes uniformly distributed. Everything becomes maximally disorderly. Things move, but all interesting information is gone.
But order is probabilistic. It's not physically impossible for order to increase, it's just ridiculously unlikely. If you wait long enough (really long) it'll probably happen some time.
I don't think quantum effects are especially related, except to the extent they relate to everything.
- Robotbeat 8y agoThat’s the crazy thing about large numbers like these. Even Entropy’s Heat Death are swallowed up by them. Not only do such events become probable but they become inevitable an endless number of times over a long enough timescale. Infinity kills even Heat Death.
- mockingbirdy 8y agoI will start to use this in rock-paper-scissors-infinity. But first I have to deeply realize that I'm just one out of all possible ones and that I exist infinitely times and also infinitely times where I finally have a beard.
