The first law of thermodynamics says that the total quantity of energy in the universe remains constant. This is the principle of the conservation of energy. The second law of thermodynamics states that the quality of this energy is degraded irreversibly. This is the principle of the degradation of energy.

All the protons and neutrons are not bound equally strongly to the nucleus.\nI don't think the second or third law of thermodynamics are  involved. It is only a matter of binding energy and E=mc2.

Newton's third law was the first incarnation of an important principle of physics (still valid of course) called the law of momentum conservation.\n\nIt's regarded as a consequence of other physical laws rather than a postulate as in Newton's theory. In particular it follows mathematically from the assumption that laws of physics are unchanged under translations - that space is homogeneous.\n\nIn Newton's system, the momentum lost/gained by one material object instantaneously appears or disappears in other distant objects. In that sense it's not true except as an approximation because special relativity does not allow anything to propagate faster than the speed of light.\n\nThe modern view is that there's an exchange of momentum between matter and fields rather than directly between matter and matter. The momentum density of the electromagnetic field at each point in space is given by the cross product of the electric and magnetic fields (Poynting vector/c^2):\n\n(1/4pi c)(E x B)\n\nIntegrating the momentum density over space and taking the time derivative gives the total external force (i.e. force due to charged matter) on the electromagnetic field:\n\nF = dP_em/dt = d/dt &#92;integral (1/4pi c)(E(x) x B(x)) d^3x\n\nand there is an equal and opposite force -F (the Lorentz force) on matter due to the electromagnetic field.

the 1LOT (1st law of thermodynamics) says that neither matter nor energy are being created (new) or destroyed...that they can only change forms (ie, matter can be converted to energy and visa versa)\n\nie, there is no "overall" gain or loss of matter and energy combined\n\nwhile that law has yet to be falsified, it is far easier to convert matter to energy than it is to convert energy to matter

Entropy is "built into the system"... it's essentially the bulk of one of the laws of thermodynamics.  it occurs everywhere, and it's neither a cause nor an effect, but rather a property of all actions.

Basically what Le Chatelier's Principle is trying to say is that if a system in equilibrium experiences a change, then it will try and counteract that change.\n\nIn this case, the excess heat is the change experienced. To counteract the excess heat, some of it must be absorbed. Thus, the endothermic reaction in which heat is absorbed will occur at a higher rate than the other reaction. \n\nThe endothermic reaction is the forward reaction. (Equilibrium shifts to the right.) Thus, more N2O4 will be converted to NO2 than the other way round, resulting in less brown-coloured N2O4 molecules in the system. Therefore, the intensity of the colour will decrease.\n\n:) hope you find this useful!

Props to mathematician.  To expand, a "machine" must transform energy in some way.  The second law of thermodynamics describes that any time energy is transformed, entropy is created.  Whenever entropy is created, the "machine" must expel some energy in order to expel the entropy that has been created (if it doesn't expel the entropy, the machine doesn't run).  So every time a machine does something, it MUST lose some energy, and it cannot run forever.

This is a purely physical change of state from solid to liquid as a result of energy being added to the system.  There is an increase in entropy of the system.

The second law of thermodynamics basically states you CAN NOT get more out of system than you put.  So, Goring, why are continually trying to confuse the issue.  You and I both know Evolution is being applied to an open system, thus is outside the limitations implied by the second law of thermodynamics.  You may be a shade better at Physics than me, but Evolutionary Theory is my strong suit.  If you want have an honest discussion, I say fine, otherwise, take a hike.\n\nTo answer your question in simple terms, the real beauty of Evolution is that in the Entropy / Enthalpy trade-off game, living matter is able to attain ever higher of complexity.  This applies not just for day to day existence of an organism, but for the species as a whole.  DNA serves as the memory template upon which these lessons are stored.\n\nIf you insist, I suppose one might argue species extinction is a form of inverse evolution.  But even that is a tough sell since empty environmental niches rarely stay empty.\n\nReply add on - Yes the human body throws off heat in the process of maintaining a constant temperature, but the steady temperature vastly improves metabolic performance making the trade off well worth the cost.  But when I mentioned the entropy enthrapy I was talking about the formation of complex systems like that brain you using to give me a bad time.  As for the disintegration of individual organism, you are right about time catching up with us all.  But unless that disintegration factor affects reproduction it not likely to affect the continuence of the species and thus will have little to no influence upon evolution. \n\nCome on, admit it, you enjoy trying to egg people into debating these fine points with you.

Newton's third law: law of reciprocal actions\n \nAll forces occur in pairs, and these two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. \n\n\nThe third law follows mathematically from the law of conservation of momentum.
