In this lecture, Canadian Patriot Press founder Matthew Ehret connects the two views of science that have attempted to assess whether the universe is fundamentally organized by decay (ie: the 2nd law of thermodynamics) or is organized by life and creative growth (ie: anti-entropic). The question is asked: How does either conclusion impact our view of human law, economic and political organization of society? Which theory of the universe benefits an oligarch seeking population reduction vs a true lover of humanity? We then look at an array of evidence from anti-Darwinian biogeochemist Vladimir Vernadsky as well as anti-Newtonian physicists and engineers like Sadi Carnot (upon whose work modern thermodynamics is based), Dimitri Mendeleyev and others in order to assess whether or not entropy (the 2nd Law of thermodynamics) still merits to be considered an all encompassing law of the universe or merely a lower order mechanism within an otherwise creatively growing universe.
