Assuming the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (Entropy always increases), how would you unscramble an egg?

Answer 1

feed it to a chicken

Answer 2

The only way to unscramble an egg would be to expend more energy than the "potential" gained by having an unscrambled egg.

The process of scrambling an egg increases the total entropy (disorder) of the universe. In order to reverse this process, decrease entropy in one location, you must increase it somewhere else by more than this amount....this would be done by expending energy and doing work. So in a way you are putting potential energy back into the egg by giving up some of your own energy, but you must give up more than you get back, so overall entropy still increases.

Answer 3

By reversing the film. In reality, though, it cannot be done. Entropy has to do with the advancement of physical time. Time, itself, as a physical entity is actually one-dimensional. This fact would be evidenced if all creation were to be reduced to its lowest form. It would become electromagnetic energy. At that time the universe would in actuality become one-dimensional.

What this means is, the entire creation passes by any act at the speed of light. To reverse the act, all creation would have to be reversed. Were any one segment of creation to be reversed only, that segment would no longer exist to the rest of creation.

Answer 4

Hehe, I love random questions. Basically, if you want to overcome the second law, you have to put enough energy into it. If you could somehow manually arange the molecules of egg into their original position using some kind of outside force, that should just about do it. But good luck with that one:)

Answer 5

The "arrow of time" would have to reverse. I believe "time" to be a function of consciousness, and that is as far as I have gotten.
