Entropy increase seems inevitable in the macro-mechanical universe
simply because of the Law of Large Numbers. It's a probability thing,
and a consequence of quantum states in e-n electrons.
The role of relativity in this, as in the mass-energy equivalence, I
don't have the knowledge to comment upon it.
Simply, whether radiated heat from our body will change entrapy of
universe minutely or not?
That seems to be the general consensus, but cosmologists can't even
define comprehensible limits to the universe yet
Can you tell me the fate of emmited/reflected light from an object?
Emission of e-m radiation is normally due to energy level shifts in e-
n electrons. I would guess that the resulting redistribution of
internal energy within the emitter would signal an entropy increase.
But I'm only guessing. The amswer belongs to quantum mechanics, of
which I know very little..
