Challenging established theories and providing solutions to long-standing problems in physics is no small feat. It has been proven now in the latest research that the second law of thermodynamics is wrong (Entropy is Constant) and that the Arrow of Time is T-symmetric. This could have significant implications for our understanding of the universe. This actually changes physics as we know it for sure, as science will never be the same again after the findings that has already been published in an accredited peer reviewed international journal (see the paper below for details).
Do you guys agree to the findings? The proof is simple to read yet powerful enough to wrong the traditional laws of science. If not, please provide a reason why? We have had some very interesting discussions so far on other topics and I want to keep this channel open, clear and omni-directional!

Article Entropy is Constant & Arrow of Time is T-Symmetric
Dear Sandeep Jaiswal
The author wrote:
"Time cannot travel backwards and can exist only in the present moment of time as time can also not move the present moment into the future. "
It seems that the author is talking about of the "eternal present"(if I have understood well), as time cannot flow anymore from the past, to the present, to the future, as we experience it every moment, so time is not symmetric, as space, in which can have both signs, positive and negative after establishing a point of reference; time as a flow is a totally that we cannot stop in the present, because once we do it, it is not the exact time anymore!.

Edgar Paternina,
Time definitely has a direction and it can only move from the present moment of time in the direction of the future. This is the property of time as anything in this universe, like space, motion, energy etc etc etc that also has a property. Let's accept in physics that this fundamental ultimate truth and make it also as one of the laws of physics, the fourth law to be exact. This will solve all the problems as time will then become T-symmetric too as it will be in one of the laws of sciences. Secondly, we have to also accept the fact that not everything in nature in T-symmetric as there is exception to every rule and time is also one of them. Thirdly, we have to accept the fact that time cannot travel in the backward direction as we always live in the present moment, not the past moment or the future moment and hence the present moment cannot be the past moment and the future moment also cannot be the present moment, because we are in the present moment only and the present moment is moving in the forward direction so the present moment is T-symmetric, hence proved. Since time is the present moment then time is also T-symmetric.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Cheers,

Entropy is a state function. That means that for a macro-system at equilibrium, the value of entropy is determined.
It is meaningless to say “entropy increases” without specifying the system and the process.

Dear Arieh,
Thank you for your insightful response and for highlighting the importance of context when discussing entropy. Your point about entropy being a state function, determined for a macro-system at equilibrium, is well taken. I appreciate the opportunity to further clarify and expand on my position regarding entropy and the Arrow of Time.
You are absolutely correct that entropy is a state function, meaning its value depends on the state of the system and not on the path taken to reach that state. This foundational concept is crucial in thermodynamics and helps avoid misunderstandings about entropy’s behaviour.
I agree that it is essential to specify the system and the process when discussing whether entropy increases. Traditional thermodynamics tells us that for isolated systems, entropy tends to increase, leading to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. However, recent research by me, including the study I referenced by myself, challenges this view by suggesting scenarios where entropy remains constant, particularly in non-isolated systems or when considering quantum effects.
The latest research I mentioned posits that under certain conditions, entropy does not necessarily increase and could be constant. This assertion arises from the exploration of systems beyond the classical isolated frameworks typically considered. The implications of these findings are profound, potentially altering our understanding of thermodynamic processes, particularly in complex or quantum systems.
Regarding the Arrow of Time, the traditional view holds that it aligns with the increase of entropy, thus giving time a direction from past to future. However, the concept of T-symmetry (time-reversal symmetry) suggests that the fundamental laws of physics should remain invariant if time were reversed. The new findings propose that if entropy can be constant, then the Arrow of Time might be T-symmetric, challenging our conventional understanding and opening new avenues for theoretical exploration.
I would love to delve deeper into the specifics of the system and processes under which these new entropy findings were derived. Perhaps we can examine particular case studies or models where entropy behaves differently than traditionally expected. This could lead to a richer understanding of both entropy and the Arrow of Time.
Thank you again for your thought-provoking response. I look forward to continuing this stimulating discussion and exploring these groundbreaking ideas further.
Best regards,
Sandeep
