The entropy density of the universe is declining. This has important implications for every field of study that uses the concept of information. Declining entropy density is what enables information to grow. Earth is not a special case. The entropy density is declining on average everywhere throughout the entire universe. Papers that derive or discuss the entropy density of the universe: * BIG-BANG COSMOLOGY http://pdg.lbl.gov/2012/reviews/rpp2012-rev-bbang-cosmology.pdf * Energy conditions and entropy density of the universe https://arxiv.org/pdf/1009.4513.pdf * Cosmology and entropy: in search of further clarity http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/13178/1/Cosmology%20and%20entropy.pdf Wonderful books that get most things right, but that are wrong on this point: * Why Information Grows: The Evolution of Order, from Atoms to Economies https://www.amazon.com/Why-Information-Grows-Evolution-Economies/dp/B01KKM14U2/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=why+information+grows&qid=1571592513&sr=8-1 * From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time https://www.amazon.com/Eternity-Here-Quest-Ultimate-Theory/dp/0452296544/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2?keywords=arrow+of+time+sean+carroll&qid=1571592528&sr=8-2-fkmr2 * Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime https://www.amazon.com/Something-Deeply-Hidden-Emergence-Spacetime/dp/B07QT9TBQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=38421OVWX95Y&keywords=sean+carroll+something+deeply+hidden&qid=1571592556&sprefix=sean+carroll%2Caps%2C189&sr=8-1 * Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress https://www.amazon.com/Enlightenment-Now-Science-Humanism-Progress/dp/B075F8M2MC/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1VEVKP4W0P2ZD&keywords=steven+pinker+enlightenment+now&qid=1571592540&sprefix=steven+pinker+enl%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-2 Earlier related videos: * Bitcoin is Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHYW09FGQpU * The Antifragility of Bitcoin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xS8fZdZvtg * Comprehensive Training for Humans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K5a4cSvG0E * Jesus, Trade and Entropy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93WGbFqmmQQ Money Button YouTube page: * https://youtube.com/moneybutton ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDWXCsArBrQ
