“Nothing occurs locally, nor globally in the universe, without mass-energy exchange/conversion accompanied with unavoidable heat generation and irreversible entropy production.
It is crystal-clear (to me) that all confusions related to the far-reaching fundamental Laws of Thermodynamics, and especially the Second Law (Abstract & FULL paper (*), are due to the lack of their genuine and subtle comprehension.” - M. Kostic
