Why are all the questions in this thread answered with questions?

It's starting to look like a game of "Who's Line is it Anyway?"

Seems no one has the answer. Threads like these go on and on. I guess he who has the last word wins ? Trouble is they never end.

That's not hostile in the least. I made a direct reference to something posted, you assumed that it was directed at you (It's funny because there's zero chance it could have been directed at you... literally), and I quipped a reference to Oscar Wilde. That's levity, not hostility.

I see now. Didn't see the subject of TheMetatron's post.

So what is he being misleading about?

What's wrong with that?

Did I say there was anything wrong with that?

Wow... he wasn't. He accused me of being misleading by mentioning entropy and then "explained" how I didn't understand the 2nd law of thermodynamics. So, remembering how he cordially invited us to move this discussion to another forum where we would never be attacked personally, I thought it funny that he called my comments a canard (in effect saying that I, or whoever initially referenced it, was intentionally misleading people which I classify as a personal attack)...

Maybe the lack of reading/listening for comprehension is a problem that both sides have when discussing these types of things... Cheers

Yes I'm definitely having some comprehension problems. I see now. My mistake.

I doubt he meant that you knowingly thought it was false and said it anyway.

Are you claiming the 2nd law also applies to open systems? I'm sure that's what he was referring too. The 2nd law only applies to closed systems

I'm asking where the border is between a closed and open system. Dr. Ross said that it applied to open systems as well because there were no known violations of the 2nd law of thermodynamics irrespective of whether discussing open and closed systems.
