Essay Abstract
Entropy plays an important role in modern physics but a deeper understanding of it may clear up many open questions. To achieve this goal a speculative scenario is proposed. The classical interpretation of thermodynamics is replaced by a field interpretation. The thermodynamic entropy is divided into different types and endowed with the functions of fields. A new understanding of energy transformations allows combining the first and the second laws of thermodynamics in one principle. The universal law of conservation of energy as a main paradigm is replaced by the idea of dynamic balancing of energies continuously generated at a fundamental level. The proposed principle predicts increase in total energy-mass in all irreversible heat processes e.g. the expansion of the Universe. The proposed concept may help in understanding some problems, such as dark energy, dark matter, unification of interactions, and also in understanding the reason of the mathematical incompleteness.
Author Bio
An independent researcher and inventor, born in 1977. He worked as a logistics specialist in the automotive industry until 2013. Main research area includes: renewable energy, heat engines, thermodynamics and cosmology. In 2015 he developed some methods to increase efficiency of heat engines. Since 2016 he has been working on a new theory of thermodynamics which may solve some problems of physics and especially cosmology. At present moment he is developing an experimental program confirming the new theory and is looking for opportunities to realize it.
