Can you say a little more about this? I know that life itself preserves the increase of entropy
- ggm 3y agoSomebody else before him, Leo Szilard, observed that most biological processes appear to contradict the 2nd law of thermodynamics because they take/collect/leverage disparate energy and concentrate it locally in another form. Fred worked on that.
