Gibbs’ paradox—the apparent discontinuity in mixing entropy for gases of varying similarity and the seeming reversibility of mixing-separation cycles—has resisted fully satisfactory resolution for 150 years. We present a solution based on categorical state theory, which posits that physical con f igurations are…

Providing a simple description of entropy as the foundation of thermodynamics is necessary for researchers in explaining physical phenomena in the universe. Here we dive deep into the meaning of entropy starting from the basics and ending with the Newton's second law of motion which may be rooted in a hidden dimension…

The energy and entropy, expressed in free energy, determine the behavior of a system. Therefore, infinite knowledge of these two quantities leads to precise prediction of the system's trajectories. Here, we study how the energy and entropy affect the distribution of a two-component system in a box. First, using a…

During protein folding, proteins transition from a disordered polymer into a globular structure, markedly decreasing their conformational degrees of freedom and consequently leading to a substantial reduction in entropy. Nonetheless, folded proteins still retain significant entropy as they fluctuate between the…

The emergence of life on Earth has attracted intense attention but remains unclear. A key problem is that the question of how living organisms can exhibit self-organizing ability that leads to highly ordered structures and active free independent behavior remains unanswered. This work reveals, by computer simulation…

Causality is the relationship between causes and effects. Following Relativity, any cause of an event must always be in the past light cone of the event itself, but causes and effect must always be related to some interactions. In this paper, causality is developed as a consequence of the analysis of the Einstein…

The present work reveals that a prebiotic chemical system can generate self-organizing ability that leads to highly ordered structures and an active character such as free independent harmonious behavior. This result is the properties of natural things that have long been overlooked since Darwin’s theory of evolution…
