“What’s the price of an accurate clock? Entropy, a new study has revealed. Entropy — or disorder — is created every time a clock ticks.”
What a silly statement.
When a clock ticks it takes energy. Energy input is derived from enthlapy (a higher energy state that can be defined as order.) When energy is taken out of this state disorder is greater and thus disorder become greater and thus entropy increases. It is really pretty simple.
I think this was postulated a couple of hundred years ago.
Please don’t post the Maxwell relations.
