In this seventh lecture of a new course on Open vs Closed Systems for Russia’s Nasha Zavtra publishing and the Academy for International Cooperation, Matthew Ehret discusses Entropy (aka: the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics), and the opposing theory of Anti-Entropy.
This exercise involves a review of the principled battle between Gottfried Leibniz vs the Newtonians, the roots of Thermodynamics from Denis Papin and Leibniz through Lazare Carnot and Sadi Carnot, and the perversion of the science of thermodynamics by Royal Society devotees to Isaac Newton such as Lord Kelvin, Rudolf Clausius, Sir Arthur Eddington and Lord Bertrand Russell.
How entropy was turned into the foundation for the later development of cybernetics, information theory and systems analysis is explored both from a scientific domain and also a political/cultural domain. A case is made for anti-entropy as the dominant law shaping the universe.
