From toms Wed Jul 21 19:47:19 1999 To: twallace@trueorigin.org Subject: amazing Content-Length: 594 Dear Dr. Wallace: I find it amazing that you could write so much about the second law at http://www.trueorigin.org/steiger.htm and still not understand that the entropy of an unisolated system can increase, at the expense of the rest of the universe, of course. dS >= dq/T can just as easily be written -dS <= -dq/T. Are you intentionally ignoring this? Dr. Thomas D.
