i read many diff explanations but still I dont understand the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Wiki :

The second law of thermodynamics establishes the concept of entropy as a physical property of a thermodynamic system. Entropy predicts the direction of spontaneous processes, and determines whether they are irreversible or impossible, despite obeying the requirement of conservation of energy, which is established in the first law of thermodynamics.

livescience :

The Second Law of Thermodynamics is about the quality of energy. It states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. The Second Law also states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state.


I knw /k many pandai, can care to explain to me?

pasar explanation....

heat is low "quality energy", once energy is in this form, you can't convert it back to say nuclear energy.........

which also means, the universe will eventually be a very cold place................the sun and all the stars will expend all its energy through fusion, giving out heat, light, magnetic energies.....once gone, then that's it. No more work can be done.....

but the first law of thermodynamics say energy cannot be destroyed

so the energy star gives out wont be destroyed or disappeared, it will still be there in one form or another, lingering around

Entropy is energy also. Just energy you kenot use.

sad!

need a new big bang to reset the entropy

Theoretically that requires everything repeat everything to go back into a single point.

wait dont new stars get born every now and then? gotta google that up

That's not single point leh. Stars are born when enough mass come together that fusion begins.

Star Formation
Stars are born within the clouds of dust and scattered throughout most galaxies. A familiar example of such as a dust cloud is the Orion Nebula. Turbulence deep within these clouds gives rise to knots with sufficient mass that the gas and dust can begin to collapse under its own gravitational attraction. As the cloud collapses, the material at the center begins to heat up. Known as a protostar, it is this hot core at the heart of the collapsing cloud that will one day become a star. Three-dimensional computer models of star formation predict that the spinning clouds of collapsing gas and dust may break up into two or three blobs; this would explain why the majority the stars in the Milky Way are paired or in groups of multiple stars.

so universe is not going to die a cold death because new stars get borned...
