A Thermodynamic Negentropy Mirror Image Second Law

Authors: Alec Feinberg

In this article, we provide a comment on how negative entropy can be viewed as an essential part of thermodynamics and our everyday life. We do this with a simple Negentropy Mirror Image Second Law proof. Although simple, the results may help clear up such confusion as the Schrödinger Paradox. This is because the proof shows that Negentropy Second Law is essentially a mirror image of the Second Law and already an inherent part of thermodynamics. Although there are many interpretations of the Second Law of thermodynamics, we often think of it as a statement of matter having a spontaneous tendency to become disordered. However, we cannot have disorder with first having order. Most of the literature focuses on negative entropy almost as a separate science related to living systems and in many cases as a paradox to the Second Law. To merge order and disorder in thermodynamics, we illustrate a simple view to illustrate a Negentropy Mirror Image Second Law simply by thinking of disorder as the removal of order. We then extend it to living systems.
