Exploring the Connections between Energy, Entropy and Quantum Non-locality

Abstract

The notion that fundamental properties common to all energetic phenomena engender both thermodynamic entropy and quantum non-locality has been explored by the author in two previous papers, and a significant amount of research. This paper summarizes those results, including both ideas from those papers and more recent developments. The idea that entropy pertains to the dispersal – or spreading and sharing – of energy has been widely adopted in Chemistry texts, over the prior notion that entropy reflects disorder. However; the situation is very different in Physics where that question has been sidestepped by the adoption of a model based on information loss. The author believes it is time to re-visit this matter, as the tendency for energy to spread and be shared may be a fundamental property.
