SECOND LAW OF LIFE-life of entropy and irreversibility


       Life is governed by some certain set of laws I believe. There should be something that governs us.What makes me think something? what is it that the brain is trying to achieve by thinking ? Answer ranges from Peace;Internal peace or moksh as Hindus call it. The scientist don't use their brain for this. They do it for human betterment as they call it. Businessmen do it for self-life quality development. Infact all the cases are same in terms of energy. Now the question is how. Every men are working to keep themselves in most comfortable position.Which is nothing but the least entropy generation state.

      Time can be called a function of entropy which is in itself a quantification of usable energy. A higher entropy of system implies a higher energy state which has to be dissipated to reach a stable state.Humans are always in higher energy state.They have to spend their energy when they need to .But we have found ways to surpass the need to prevent that energy disposal by bringing out the machines which dispose a higher amount of energy for the same need. We appointed a agent for our shopping who buys the same things at a higher price for us. The effect of higher price,though not visible to the eyes in the small scale, has got a a royal name of environmental degradation which all environmentalist as well as every nation keeps as a matter of great relevance in every global meet. Entropy generation is function of rate of energy dissipation. "We, the people of earth are not ready these days to give up much of our habits of life" which includes rampant energy usage.Now after this quote we definitely know why the entire world is so excited with energy. The energy of high quality was degraded to lower quality .As well as the energy of every human being is a multiple of his initial energy since he has machines to compound it.Examples of this range from using car to drones which all are an amplification of the energy forms.

     One important characteristic in dissipating such energy is the extent to which this energy has been beneficial to anyone.As per the law of thermodynamics the infinitesimally slow process is the most efficient process.So it also means the inverse is the least irreversible. This applies to every sphere of life, a deed done with careful thinking always lasts long with sustainability.Examples are the democracy and military rule changes around the world .Where democracy is stable since the process itself is slow and made by careful thinking to prevent the loss of energy states of individual entity .Whereas the military rule, though gained fast requires lots of energy dissipation in forms of arms for equalizing the energy level of each entity .All this while we also need to keep in mind that the energy ladder only allows upward movement there is no movement downwards.For every one step down you will be penalized to walk up two steps.So every person as part of humanity needs to keep it in mind that he utilizes minimum energy or generates minimum entropy.

     If carefully observed meditation is a type of decreasing the energy movements of brain which shall make the entity at ease since he gains a lower energy state.Life can never be reversible because it is made to be like that. It can be bought to near reversible by the greatest of yogis who maintain substantially less brain activity and still body. But every human being as a standard entity should keep a tab on their own body and activities which are generating the entropy.Making a energy change should not be subtle but gradual this would ensure that we are not interfering energy states and create a sustainable future.
