The entropy of systems

GD, I don't recall and won't look back into old threads but are you the guy that was saying the atom had entrophy and then dropped the issue? Now you say the atom looses energy over time?

Hello Jim,

The atom continually loses potential energy. This is what the entropy theory is about.
This also defines Gravity.

Nobody to this day has convinced me that this theory is wrong.

[GD] "The following should be true : In an experiment, if a prism which diffracts light is heated so that the atoms at the small end and at the thick end are approximately at the same energy state, the ‘rainbow’ colors should gradually change to show only one color : red."

I've done this exact experiment.

(The colors didn't change.)

Hi LB

I'm intrigued. How did you manage to get all the atoms at the same energy state ?
Even if you leave the prism in an oven for ? hours, the atoms in the outer surfaces do not react the same way as the ones inside the prism.
Maybe if you melt the thing down ?

I have temperature controlled chamber that is regulated to within 0.55 degrees celcius. All of the atoms in any small object placed in such a chamber will be within that variation of each other in 3 to 4 hours. IOW, they will be " ... approximately at the same energy state ... ", per your specifications.

??? If you melted it, it wouldn't be a prism any more.
