Premises.
The Sun, at least until it has completed its consumption process, provides us with the energy necessary for processes that counterbalance the effects of the second law.
However, this energy alone would not be useful for this purpose.
In order for the energy provided by the Sun to become useful in lowering entropy - the first condition for making life forms possible over time - processes must take place, possible only under certain conditions, as we will see shortly below.
The answer found in seeds.
On the previous page I considered the efforts of J. C. Maxwell, Erwin Schrœdinger and others, to understand how evolution could have taken place here on Earth, despite the second law of thermodynamics.
Well, it is the seeds that gave me an answer.
Thanks to the way in which I am able to exploit the cumulative-dissipative cycle of seeds, and obtain an increase in harvests (itineraries 1.1 and 1.2), I now propose my interpretation of how here on Earth, in the overall balance, there can be a decrease in entropy, to compensate for what happens due to the second law.
It is understood that this interpretation of mine may be by other researchers either confirmed, modified or invalidated.
Exchanges of heat consistent with the movement.
In the experiment E, the seeds reveal they can decrease their entropy, with no degradation of energy, at the end of the cumulative-dissipative cycle, using their angular movement relative to other matter, if said movement is accompanied by coherent heat exchanges.
Indeed, when the angular motion between the seeds and the other matter is increasing, and this motion is at one of the critical angular velocities, and at the same time the seeds are accumulating heat, they are in the cumulative phase.
When, on the other hand, the angular motion between the seeds and the other matter is decreasing, and this motion is at one of the critical angular velocities, and at the same time the seeds are dissipating heat, they are in the dissipative phase.
Sowing procedure.
The observations and experiments, presented in itinerary 1.2, on how seeds recover and increase their ability to germinate, allowed me to fine-tune the sowing procedure described in itinerary 1.1, useful for the recovery and increase of their germination capacity.
This procedure is useful for recovering and increasing the germination capacity of seeds, in the order of 30 to 50 percent, compared to what is usually obtained when sowing without taking the cycle in question into account.
A consequent force due to movement.
What I have written in the first two itineraries on seeds, and what I have written so far in this one, now allows me to postulate that there is, alongside gravity, another consequent force, defined by me as "force due to angular movement relative to other matter", and which for the sake of brevity I call "force d".
The "force d" has effects only on two conditions.
We have already seen the first condition: that there are contextual thermal exchanges consistent with the movement. Without coherent heat exchanges, the "force d" remains inoperative.
The second condition is that the angular velocity of the movement must be one of the critical ones.
Due to the second condition, the "force d" acts only during brief episodes of interaction.
At the end of a cycle.
At the end of a cycle, there is an increase in the germination capacity of the seeds, and a decrease in entropy, without degradation of the energy used in the form of heat, as this is borrowed, but then returned, upon completion of the processes, without being degraded.
This would be the way the second law of thermodynamics could be remedied (circumvented).
