The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics Delineates Dispersal of Energy

The 2nd law of thermodynamics as an equation of motion is derived from statistical physics of open systems. It describes, by the principle of increasing entropy, systems in evolution from one state to another, more probable one when energy flows from high to low densities along the paths of least action, i.e., geodesics toward the stationary state of free energy minimum in respective surroundings. The universal law equates changes in kinetic energy with changes in scalar and vector potentials, as is given by equations of basic, continuum and quantum mechanics as well as by those of fluid, electro- and thermodynamics. The Law in its scaleindependent form gives holistic understanding of nature in motion with no distinction between animate and inanimate.
