No, not really, if locally there is a decrease in entropy, there has to be an increase somewhere else in the universe.

Another issue is that from the point of view of entropy life is very unlikely to be. In my opinion is materialistic evolution impossible.

Life can appear to go against the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy tends to increase over time in closed systems. However, living organisms do not defy this law; they simply maintain a temporary order within themselves by consuming energy from their surroundings and releasing heat to maintain equilibrium in their internal environment.

According to the second law of thermodynamics does entropy increase in a cold system?

That depends on what you mean by "cold" system. Entropy in any system can do one of three things: increase, decrease, or remain constant. If the system is closed, then entropy will only ever increase. If the system is open, entropy within it can do any of the three, provided there is a corresponding change in entropy outside the system (energy must come from or go to somewhere to effect an entropy change). The absolute amount of energy in the system makes no difference to the entropy of it. It is whether you have an open or closed system that counts.

Why is entropy irreversible?

It's not that entropy can't be reversed, it's that the entropy of the universe is always increasing. That means that while you can reduce the entropy of something, the entropy of another thing must go up even more so that in total, the entropy goes up.


What is contravened?

Contravene means to 'go against'. So, 'he contravened a law' would mean he went against (or broke) a law.


Is it against the law to force some one to go somewhere they do not wish to go?

Unless you are law enforcement you cannot force a person to go somewhere they do not want to go and that would be against the law. You have no such authority. An exception would be a parent and their child. A parent is likely to encounter times when they need to force their child to go somewhere they do not want to go.


Did the snows entropy increase or decrease while in your hand?

Increase. The heat from your hand will melt the snow causing it to go from a low entropy solid state to a higher entropy liquid state.

Can entropy effect osmosis?

In a nutshell, yes. The water will go from a higher concentration to a lower concentration to increase the entropy of the lower concentration area. The increase in entropy of the lower concentration area would be greater than the loss of entropy of the higher concentration giving you a NET increase in total entropy.
