How does the mean entropy of the world remain constant, even though,
according to the second law of thermodynamics,
entropy in every closed system tends toward its maximum?
Here, the Clausius definition of entropy will be used, i.e., dS = dQ/T through the surface. Two bodies are in a heat-tight enclosure,
one of which is hotter than the other. When the temperatures equalize, the hotter body loses entropy,
while the colder body gains entropy. Because the amount of entropy lost by
one is smaller than the entropy gained by the other, the overall entropy increases..
However, the world is not a closed system.
A constant mean entropy of the world can only be achieved in an infinitely expanded system.
In a sufficiently large sphere, on average, as much heat flows in as out through its surface.
The sun constantly emits heat, so it also constantly loses entropy. Colder bodies that absorb radiation gain entropy.
Should entropy also increase here?
When dealing with objects with large masses, a blueshift of the absorbed radiation occurs.
This radiation can trigger reactions that it couldn't with lower energy. The work capacity of this energy increases
Furthermore, at greater distances, the cosmological redshift occurs. Less energy arrives than was sent.
Thus, entropy increases less than without redshift.
In a finite world (e.g., with big bang), the acceleration field should point inward (without dark energy). In my theory, it points outward.
Along with the conservation of angular momentum, this field contributes to preventing the world from collapsing.
