19世纪60年代,有人曾描绘“世界末日”的情景:“宇宙越是接近于其熵为一最大值的极限状态,它继续发生变化的可能就越小;当它完全达到这个状态时,就不会再出现进一步的变化了,宇宙将永远处于一种惰性的死寂状态。”这就是轰动一时的“宇宙热寂论”。此后不久,“宇宙热寂论”被科学证明是错误的。这个错误观点的提出者就是德国科学家克劳修斯,但是由他提出的“熵”的概念和热力学第二定律却是正确的。
In the 1960s, someone had described the scene of the “end of the world”: “The closer the universe is to the limit state whose entropy is a maximum, the less likely it will continue to change; when it reaches this state completely At that time, no further changes will occur, and the universe will always be in an inert state of silence.”This is the sensational “Theory of the Heat of the Universe”. Soon afterwards, the “Cosmic Heat Death Theory” was proved scientifically wrong. The proponent of this wrong view is German scientist Clausius, but the concept of “entropy” proposed by him and the second law of thermodynamics are correct.
