Don't try to kid a kidder, AG. Betty didn't even know which 'second law' she was referring to. She confused Newton's second law, a law of mechanics, with Clausius' second law. And you posted that you were in total agreement with her. Since we've established neither of you has much of a clue what the second law is, flights of fancy about Shannon entropy are a bit, well, unconvincing.

Either learn some physics, the both of you, or lay off the airy pronouncements.

Neither betty boop nor I confuse the Shannon entropy with the Maxwell-Bolzmann-Gibbs entropy. We've discussed both at length.

For Lurkers trying to sort all of this out: Second Law of Thermodynamics

I know the difference - never use them interchangeably - and have no intention of "laying off."
