Heat Death Paradox
- gtsop 6y agoFor theories dismissing an infinitely old universe, here is the true paradox: How could the universe have a beginning? How did you get everything out of nothing?

- gtsop 6y agoWhich leads to the conclusion that some form of god exists. The only "logical" explanation if you accept the universe had a beginning. But then you are introducing another paradox. When we refer to the universe we mean "everything that exists". So, if some form of god exist(ed) they would be part of that universe. So where did the god come from?

- Konohamaru 6y agoBetter to say the 2nd law of thermodynamics is not universal than assume creation ex nihilo? The problem with that, is that the second law is equivalent to saying that information cannot be destroyed: discarded bits correspond to heat, so heat death is when the hard drive of the universe is completely filled with spam. If the universe is infinitely old but not filled with spam, then: 1. At some point in time, information started to be created (why not just call this the beginning of the universe then?) 2. The universe periodically wipes the hard drive of all its spam. But how can information be destroyed?
- gtsop 6y agoWhat is information and what is spam really? Both relatibe to humans' interpretation. Isn't it a bit egoistical to call such a hypothetical state of the universe "dead" just because there isn't anything of interest to humans? As far as I know humans could be "spam" right now considering the nature of am infinate world
- Konohamaru 6y agoNo life would be possible in a universe filled with spam, not even for aliens.
