- In "From eternity to here", Sean Carroll writes that the protostellar cloud had a lower entropy than te solar system it produced. That strikes me as odd. A solar system looks more arranged than a dust cloud. What am I missing here?
On page 50 of "From eternity to here", Sean Carroll writes that the protostellar cloud had a lower entropy than the solar system it produced. That strikes me as odd. A solar system looks more arranged than a dust cloud. When talking about entropy, someone always mentions the milk in the coffee. Milk in a drop of milk has lower entropy then milk spread in one of the billion ways it can spread between the "coffee molecules". Wouldn't you aggree, that the milk in a drop looks more like a planet and the milk all spread out looks more like the dustcloud. What am I missing here?
