Biological organisms do NOT violate the laws of thermodynamics. Some people mistakenly think that because they assemble into complex structures they must be in violation of the 2nd law. This is not true. The 2nd law does not preclude the assembly of complex structure, it says that any such process will produce more entropy in the universe - so the decrease in entropy of the plant, animal, bacteria, or biological organism is accompanied by an even greater INCREASE in the entropy of the universe.

Why do biological organisms violate the law of thermal dynamics?
No biological entity violates any of the laws of thermodynamics.
Would nuclear fusion break the laws of thermodynamics?
No, nuclear fusion does not violate the laws of thermodynamics. It is a process that involves combining small atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy in the process. This energy release is consistent with the principles of thermodynamics.
What are the first and second laws of thermodynamics explain them in biological systems?
The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of energy conservation, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. In biological systems, this means that the energy from food is converted into usable forms, such as ATP, through processes like cellular respiration. The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy, or disorder, in a closed system tends to increase over time. In biological systems, this implies that while organisms can maintain order and decrease entropy locally (e.g., through metabolic processes), they do so by increasing the overall entropy of their surroundings.
Is thermodynamics a law or theory?
Thermodynamics is both a law and a theory. It has a set of well-established laws, such as the first and second laws of thermodynamics, which describe the behavior of energy in systems. Additionally, the principles and concepts underlying thermodynamics are formulated into a theory to explain and predict the behavior of physical systems.
What is an analogy for the laws of thermodynamics?
An analogy for the laws of thermodynamics is the rules of a game. Just like how the rules of a game dictate what is and is not allowed during gameplay, the laws of thermodynamics govern how energy behaves in physical systems. They provide a framework for understanding and predicting energy interactions.
Why do biological organisms violate the law of thermal dynamics?
No biological entity violates any of the laws of thermodynamics.
Is death inevitable?
Yes. To live forever would violate the laws of thermodynamics. The only way not to would be to have no changes, which would not be living.
Would nuclear fusion break the laws of thermodynamics?
No, nuclear fusion does not violate the laws of thermodynamics. It is a process that involves combining small atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy in the process. This energy release is consistent with the principles of thermodynamics.
Why can't electric suppliers use electric motors to spin the generators?
If you are suggesting a "perpetual motion" scenerio, it would violate the first or second laws of thermodynamics. Many inventors dream of perpetual motion machines, but they are an impossible dream according to the laws of thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics says that an engine or process of any type must always have an efficiency of less than 100%. A perpetual motion machine that uses a generator to power the motor that runs the generator requires both the generator and motor to operate with 100% efficiency. This type of perpetual motion machine does not violate the first law of thermodynamics, but violates the second law of thermodynamics. It is a perpetual motion machine of the second kind because it violates the second law of thermodynamics. Not even the cleverest engineer or inventor can build a perpetual motion machine because it would violate either the first or second law of thermodynamics, which are fundamental laws of physics.

Is the laws of energy thermodynamics is a part of physics?
Thermodynamics is part of physics.
In a dictatorship how is rule of law regarded?
It is not respected, as rulers violate laws as they please

What are the thermodynamic laws?
Scientific rules and laws concerning thermodynamics.
Why is a perpetual motion machine not possible?
It's not possible because it would violate one or both of the laws of thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics says that you can't create energy from nothing, or to out it another way, you can't get more energy out of a machine than you put into it. The second law says that no machine is 100% efficient. You must actually get less energy out of a machine than you put into it. The laws of thermodynamics apply to the entire universe and all bodies within it, including alleged perpetual motion machines.
What is perpatual motion?
It is the idea of a machine continuously producing energy, without energy input - or producing more energy than what is put into the machine. This would violate the First Law of Thermodynamics (conservation of energy), and in general, it is not believed to be possible. No process is known which violates the conservation of energy. (A "perpetual motion machine of the second kind" would violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics; this is generally believed to be impossible, too.)
What is the physical chemical and biological laws that operate today that also operated in the geological past?
The laws of physics, such as gravity and thermodynamics, have remained constant throughout geological time. Similarly, the principles of chemistry, including the conservation of matter and energy, have also operated in the past. Biological laws, such as evolution and genetics, have shaped life on Earth both in the past and present.
