Entropy in the physical-theological argument

שו"תEntropy in the physical-theological argument
שאל לפני 2 שנים

Peace and blessings. Regarding entropy, I have 2 questions:

  1. In the YouTube lectures, when you presented the physical-theological view (in the context of macroscopic states created from microscopic states), you gave an example of 10 cells in which 3 particles can be arranged in 3 specific cells, and thus the number of possible arrangements is 6. In addition, you showed that if the 3 particles can only be in one point, then of course the number of microscopic states is 1. My question is, how do you calculate probability here? That is, do you have to take into account all the possible arrangements of the particles within the 10 cells, and then divide the possible microscopic states (that create the macroscopic state) by all the possibilities? I hope my question is understandable, if not, please tell me and I will refine it.

2. You claimed that the complexity of the laws is like the complexity of the phenomena they produce. Is it possible to apply entropy to the laws as well? That is, is it possible to claim that the laws that prevail in our world have low entropy? And if so, how do you justify this [what microscopic states are those that represent macroscopic states (the laws)].
 
thanks

  1. Yes. (And it's not six options but many more).
  2. Entropy is not relevant to laws because it talks about real objects. Laws are not objects. Laws also do not change. Laws are special because the reality they create has low entropy. But as I explained there, entropy is just a measure that demonstrates an objective definition of complexity and there is no point in arguing about it.
