Part2 - The 'Apple in a Box' theory in 'A Trip to Infinity' #space #spaceexploration #spacefacts
Показать описание
The "Apple in a Box" theory is a thought experiment that was discussed in the Netflix documentary "A Trip to Infinity". The theory suggests that if an apple was left in a closed box for an infinite amount of time, its fundamental particles would theoretically go through every possible state that they could.
Here's a simplified version of the thought experiment:
1. An apple is placed in a closed box. In theory, nothing can come out or in the box.
2. Over time, the apple decays, and after more time, the apple has become dust.
3. Years later, the remaining chemicals get very hot, and a long time later, the particles start to nuclear fuse together.
4. Eventually, the box contains just ion nuclei and photons, and then billions of years later, the neutrons decay into protons and fundamental particles.
5. After a very, very long time, all particles in the apple have experienced all possible states.
6. Then, those states have to be revisited. At some point, therefore, the apple reappears in its original state.
This thought experiment is related to the concept of Poincaré recurrence, a mathematical theorem that states that certain systems will, after a sufficiently long but finite time, return to a state very close to the initial state.
However, it's important to note that this is a theoretical concept and doesn't necessarily reflect reality. For example, the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time, would seem to prevent the apple from spontaneously reforming1. Furthermore, the idea that a single apple could produce the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion is highly speculative.
So, while the "Apple in a Box" theory is a fascinating thought experiment, it's not a scientific theory in the sense that it's supported by empirical evidence or widely accepted by the scientific community.
