OK. You two have managed to lose me with all the algebra and entropy vs. thermodynamics stuff. All I care about is that when all is said and done something goes BOOM and results in a re-organization of mattter - regardless of how self-organizing it might be. ;-]

Sounds like a good book Trievers. I myself am reading Clancy's latest, "Red Rabbit". Very good, especially if you want to know why the Soviet Union collapsed. Clancy really did some serious homework on this. I suspect he's spent some time hanging at the Hoover Institute and similar places.

Geeze Psyop ... we didn't even get to the Principle of Autocatalytic Growth yet ... entropy and energy is only the beginning. Are you really looking for a tutor? Somehow I think your heart really isn't in this. &;-)
