![]() This is another name for absolute death or nothingness. No action would ever take place, no reaction would ever be possible. Hence a time may come, however remote, when the entire universe will ultimately sink into an inert state which could never be revitalized into its previous form of material existence. The quantum of the consumed energy of the universe continues to rise and the quantum of the consumable energy of the entire universe continues to fall. It is this to which scientists refer as the 'heat death' of the universe. ![]() When at last the entire heat of the universe would have thus exhausted itself reaching a state of equilibrium, no further exchange of heat would remain possible and no chemical reaction could be visualized. It is always heat which flows in the direction of cold. The flow of heat from the hot body to the cool atmosphere cannot reverse itself. If it cools to the level of the ambient temperature of the atmosphere, a state of equilibrium will be reached. Instead of going into the scientific complexities of how this happens, the reader is advised to visualize a hot body gradually cooling off. It has nothing to do with normal chemical reactions. ![]() But there is some loss of energy which is constant and irreversible. The long and short of this is that every chemical reaction either releases energy or absorbs it, and all such exchanges of energy do not produce any permanent waste. This is not what is referred to as the loss of energy through entropy. In all these cases there is no permanent loss of energy. To convert water again into hydrogen and oxygen can only be possible if the amount of energy which was released during the synthesis of water is re-supplied to separate the constituents of water, i.e. While this chemical reaction takes place, it releases energy. If hydrogen is made to burn in a jar full of oxygen by blowing a jet of burning hydrogen into it, it will burn only till the time that the oxygen is exhausted. When a molecule of water is created by mixing hydrogen and oxygen, it releases part of the energy which had gone into its making. For hydrogen and oxygen to produce water is one of the simplest examples of elemental interaction. Entropy simply means that the material universe, in whatever form it exists, continuously loses an infinitesimal part of its mass in the form of escaped energy which can never be retrieved again.Īll things that exist interact with each other under certain conditions. To elaborate this point further we need to explain the scientific definition of the term 'entropy'. It can be mathematically proved that this universe which we occupy can never be eternal in relation to its past, nor can it be eternal in relation to its future. What follows will eliminate any such misconception of a never-ending universe. From this the reader may be misled to believe that the universe, thus appearing and disappearing periodically, will live on and on forever. T HAS BEEN clearly demonstrated that the entire universe would be drawn back into a black hole, which later on would explode into another Big Bang releasing its entrapped mass once again. ![]() Revelation, Rationality, Knowledge & TruthĪl-Bayyinah-A Manifest Principle and Al-Qayyimah-An Everlasting Teachingīuy the book from the Al-Islam Online Store.
