A question: The entropy of the universe taken as a whole, modelled as a molecular dynamics system

entropy molecular dynamics universe thermodynamics mechanical engineering ``Everyone knows'' that the entropy of the universe, taken as a whole, increases. Suppose that we model the entire universe (i.e. the entirety of the known physical universe) as a huge isolated system, using molecular dynamics (MD for short). The question is: How would you show that the entropy of such a system does in fact always increase? that it neither decreases nor stays the same? Is it even possible to show it, using MD? Notes: Assume infinite space (or at least a sufficiently large space that never falls short ..read more

I had mentioned the Principal Secretary of the Prime Minister of India, the Donation Based Graduation of Satya NaDella, and the California-based origins of LinkedIn, as also my Poverty. And, Tearing Hurry. And the lesser PhD graduate of IISc Bangalore, a poor soul called Dr. Anil D. Sahasrabudhe, and his favourites, especially the IIT BOMBAY graduated ``Dr.'' Deepak Waman Pande. And the morality of the infamous Microsoft vs. Department of Justice case. Was trying to attach a screen shot. Here: [^] I do think that Stev ..read more
