The Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Heart

Future Cardiology, 2012
The second law of thermodynamics explains the phenomenon of irreversibility and the increasing entropic trend of nature. Similar to human-made machines, living structures are subjected to entropy generation, becoming 'worn' and 'damaged' from use. However, they have the possibility of eluding or deferring these processes.

GRAVITATION AND THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2004
Just as gravitons can carry energy, they can also be used to transmit information. It follows that an entropy should be associated with gravitational degrees of freedom, independent of the presence or absence of black holes. In this essay, we discuss how one might count gravitational entropy given a classical gravitational field.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics

2018
The second law of thermodynamics is one of the most important concepts in thermodynamics, and a full understanding of it is required in order to understand the field as a whole. However, it is relatively complex and difficult to understand due to the complexity inherent in explaining it. Therefore, this book devotes considerable space to the second law
