ChatGPT informs me that there is no mathematical proof of 2nd Law of thermodynamics and so it is simply an empirical law albeit:
- supported by a wealth of empirical evidence
- deeply ingrained in our understanding of how physical systems behave
- while mathematical frameworks like statistical mechanics provide a basis for explaining the law, the principle itself is derived from the consistency of these explanations with real-world observations.
ChatGPT is useful in the sense that it reports what it has learned from physics literature, while it is not intelligent enough to cover up like a real theoretical physicist, who would never admit anything like that.
In any case we learn that that there is no mathematical proof/explanation of the 2nd Law.
It means that this could be added to the list of Clay Millennium Problems, or even better replace the closely related Navier-Stokes problem, which is still open without any progress to a solution, see previous post.
What do you think? Is there a mathematical proof? Or not?
