Why does life die? Why can't everything in the world escape the fate of death?

Ever since humans became conscious, they have followed the law of birth, aging, sickness and death. Not only humans, but everything in nature, including the stars in the universe, seems to have a law of life. Then why does everything in the world follow such a strange law? ?

Why does everything in the world follow such a strange law?

To understand this law, we must first understand what is the basic substance that makes up everything in the world? Throughout the universe, everything in our universe is composed of atoms and some microscopic particles. Existing theories hold that all of this began with the singularity explosion more than 10 billion years ago.

At the beginning of the birth of the universe, all matter existed in the form of energy, that is, in an instant these energies began to gather and transform and gradually formed atoms and molecules.

After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, celestial bodies such as nebulae, stars, and planets have gradually appeared in the universe, and even us humans are composed of microscopic particles. But all the substances that follow cannot escape a result of extinction.

Humans will gradually age with age until they die, and then turn into dust; stars will extinguish and eventually collapse until their internal fuel is exhausted; even the "bully" black holes in the universe will eventually evaporate and disappear due to Hawking radiation .

Since looking back at the beginning of the universe, everything existed in the form of energy, and at a certain point of time it began to change, and finally formed everything in the world, so will the demise of everything in the world be transformed into energy in the end? ? Why can't we escape the fate of extinction in the universe after all?

All of this can now be explained clearly by a law of physics, that is the famous law of entropy increase.

In order to clarify the theory of the death of all things, human scientists have finally figured out the law after unremitting exploration.

The entropy in the law of entropy increase can be regarded as the degree of chaos in a system. The larger the value of entropy, the higher the degree of chaos in the system, and the entropy increase is a process from a highly ordered to disordered system. At the same time Once this process starts, it cannot be reversed, and it can only keep running in a disordered state.

We can think of entropy as a plate, and when it is still intact, the plate is a highly ordered overall system. Once it is broken, the entropy value increases, and it becomes fragmented and disordered after being broken, and it cannot be restored to its original appearance.

Looking at the entire universe we live in, it can be seen as a chaotic and disordered system, and the entropy has been increasing since its birth. This suggests that the universe as a whole is becoming more and more chaotic as time goes on.

And if this principle is applied to human beings, it is not difficult to find that human beings are resisting entropy increase all their lives. Because the growth of human beings is a process of disordered entropy increase, human beings will also develop in different directions, and eventually become all kinds of people in different forms.

Why do we say that human beings have been resisting the increase of entropy? In the process of growth, because the body needs to consume a lot of energy, it needs to rely on eating to replenish energy. In other words, eating is actually resisting the increase of moisture.

Even so, human beings will eventually grow old with age and eventually die out. So is there any similarity between the laws of the universe and the laws of human beings?

The living bodies in the universe are all kinds of stars, and the stars will gradually die out as the internal fuel is exhausted.

The reason why stars can glow and heat in the universe is because of the large amount of hydrogen in the universe. However, with the death and birth of stars one by one, generation after generation, the constant hydrogen in the universe also follows. depleted.

Once there is no more hydrogen in the universe, new stars will not appear again, until the last star is also extinguished, the universe will fall into endless darkness, and there will be no more light and heat. There are only some planets and black holes left, and these celestial bodies will all collapse into nothingness black holes after 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 billion years.

So could black holes be the final form of the universe? In fact, it is not. The black hole will not always exist, and he will disappear with it. The black hole will gradually dissipate due to Hawking radiation. When there is nothing, the universe will enter a period of great heat death of nothingness.

It is inevitable that some readers will feel anxious after seeing this, but in fact there is no need to worry about it at all, because by that time, human civilization may no longer exist, but it may also evolve into a more advanced civilization.

Here, we might as well make a bold guess that the great heat death period of the universe may also be the origin of the universe. Everything is converted from energy to matter, until finally, everything is converted into energy again, as if it is a cycle, and it is possible that a new generation of cosmic epoch will start here.
