Okay

No it isn't.

which in a sense is the samething as the moon situation I mentioned before

Could you be more precise

north wrote:
except that the mass is recycled in a faster way

Exactly how? Forgive my paranoia, but you sound as if you're just making stuff up.

for example sooner or later the moon will be turned into energy

either by collision from travelling matter or by us

Maybe, but that's the easy part. The hard part is, how do you convert the energy back into the moon? If time loops back, and if in three gazillion years time would come back to this very moment---now---there would have to be a time somewhere in the loop where the energy produces the moon again. It is this part that would violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics.


let me put it differently , first its not about time

its about how much potential energy an atom has

why ?

this is the question , can you drain any atom completely of energy , so that this atom becomes non-existent ?

then why does a super -nova happen ?

so an explosion is not caused by an imblance between energy and the inability to confine this energy ?

There are several possible causes---Wikipedia has a pretty good overview. None of them is remotely similar to the Moon scenario you hinted at, and from which your thing about "balance" spun off.

If you strain words enough---the word "balance" for example---everything can mean anything. Or nothing.

Please define what you mean by "potential energy", as it applies to atoms. Evidently you are using the term to mean something different than it does in standard physics usage. But what?

Eleven dimension/ten dimensions theory, as well as Einstein's Relativity Theory, state that time does NOT move forward and we only perceive it as such. In fact, time is simultaneous and there is no 'present' and each moment is as real as the next. The same way we see only one side of a cube at a time and yet do not believe the object two-dimensional, we should not see one moment at a time and assume time is moving forward.


Edit: On second thought, I realize this has nothing to do with the exact topic. The OP is just spouting 'physics' (read as crap) that are completely vague, unreliable, and unfocused to the topic at hand.

How does saying 'balance' destroy the law of entropy?

I supose that what is being said is that time is a series of events and the direction, either forward or back, is pretty irrelevent. Is the big bamg really over and if not then at what point is it considered that entropy starts or does entropy influence the course of the big bang? I am not at all sure that the big bang and entropy are happy bedfellows.

@Sentience,
Instead of balance how about probability eh ?
I guess Balance makes sense after all...
(worse then to not know is to correct someone and pretend to know..."BULLSHIT" is the name of the book is n´t it?)

...Guess he meant an unbalance between gravity pulling inwards and the needed critical mass of matter to sustain the strength of the fusion pulling outwards...(don´t be so peaky...)

@Thomas,
Kinetic/Potential energy conversion is well know to high school students...are you that old that you forgot ?
