i loled when the music started playing

i meant within the the water molecules that form the ice.

@Chuichupachichi Sorry, dude. You are misinterpreting the laws of thermodynamics here. There is always an overall increase in entropy over the universe, but in subunits of space, there can be a decrease in entropy, such as the transfer of heat from a hot environment to the ultimately cold universe. When ice forms, there is a decrease of entropy within the ice. Therefore, much of what occurs on Earth has decrease in entropy when it cools, transferring the heat to the rest of the universe.

Henry Poincare named the conception of "entropy " as a " surprising abstract " Lev Landau wrote: " A question about the physical basis of the entropy monotonous increasing law remains open " One physicist said : " The entropy is only a shadow of energy“ # History: Clausius : dS= dQ /T. Boltzmann : S= k log W Planck : h*f = kT logW The formula of Entropy is : h*f = kT logW Israel Sadovnik Socratus

This would have helped me a TON when I was studying thermodynamics in college. I'll be sharing this as much as I can.
