Comets and entropy hydrodynamics: How does evolution violate the 2nd law?
2013
Instruments, Methods, and Missions for Astrobiology XVI
Information density can increase locally if one is careful to control the flow of entropy. Not diffusively but through clever use of "invariants of the flow". Replacing entropy with true invariants of the flow, we show how information can be concentrated or "added" consistent with the observation of increasing complexity on the Earth. Analogous to a digital computer made of fluid components, the "calculation" proceeds by clever manipulation of boundary conditions. Magnetized comets possess
