> Self-organization does not consume energy any more than entropic decay emits it. This statement is incredibly wrong - this is exactly what both these processes do. We calculate chemistry reaction kinetics by including entropy terms, and optimize reactions by manipulating the entropy on one side of the equation (a classic is getting a liquid phase to precipitate out as you produce it). I mean the reason coal can be turned into electricity is because there's a big increase in entropy going from "solid carbon in a specific location" to "CO2 diffused everywhere". |
