32. What role does entropy have in the kinetic particle theory of physics?

            In a steady-state universe theory all of the major organization stems from gravitation. A uniform distribution of hydrogen atoms throughout the universe will become organized into clumps which continue to grow and become hydrogen stars. As the stars continue to grow the gravitational forces continue to grow and become large enough to fuse hydrogen nuclei. This fusion leads to larger and larger nuclei so that all the stable atoms are produced. Gravity is thus an entropy reducer.

            Gravity also produces many, if not most, of the inorganic molecules occurring on the earth. The short-lived molecules involved in organisms are not the result of gravity but are organized at the expense of energy from their environment. The primary examples, and the most fundamental, is the case of the sun’s energy in the photosynthesis of molecules. In the case of organisms their entropy is reduced at the expense of entropy being increased in their local environment. However, even in biological systems the organism and its environment taken together as one system has its entropy reduced as a result of gravity.

            Thus, we have a universe which is continually having entropy increasing processes mixed with entropy decreasing processes. Overall, it is expected that the net result is that the entropy increases balance the entropy decreases.

            We next ask what produces gravity? In the kinetic particle theory of physics the fundamental cause of gravity (which is produced at the atomic level) goes down to the neutrino level. The neutrino mechanism is the source of all organization (i.e., entropy reduction) in the universe. Each one of these organizing phenomenon occurs within a sphere with a diameter of one mean free path .

            Entropy is reduced continually by the neutrinos. The neutrino gets into orbit and produces another neutrino so that the two neutrinos produce an atom. The “field” produced by the atom is the gravitational field which make each atom attract others and thus “organize” the universe.
