Is entropy a misundertood concept?

[Aepervius]

Certainly entropy is misunderstood, as it is not defined in terms of order or disorder.


check wikipedia for a definition

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy

Although I agree with you I would like to qualify that by adding "in physic" in your sentence, as other field like information theory associate entropy with other measurement (like uncertainty on a piece of info, see this wiki for example : entropy in IT or even old def of entropy using order/disorder).

This is a really short thread, compared to my superfluously-long threads i have made in the past... <SNIP>

And, in a sudden and totally unexpected flunk of teh GENIOUS, Singul wins his own thread before anyone had a chance to retort.
