The second law of thermodynamics involves the concept of entropy, an idea that explains disorder in our world. The concept of entropy associates useful matter and waste with low entropy and high entropy, respectively. In order to look at entropy, we must first define the system of interest. For the remainder of this paper, the system will be Earth. Many people believe that everything we use up can be recycled and reused if we can develop the appropriate technology. However, the Second Law makes it essentially impossible to achieve complete recycling. Work must be put in to recycle waste; such an idea seems to work against the idea of the Second Law. From an economical standpoint, I believe that it is not worth recycling wasted goods according to the ideas of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. In the following paragraphs, I will demonstrate how entropy is objective as...
