Talk:Entropy

Discussion-free POV tag removed
There was an instance of Template:POV dated November 2022 buried in the middle of the Carnot cycle section. Baffled, I tried to find any relevant discussion, and could not. If there had been discussion, I would've changed the tag to POV statement (or moved the existing tag to the top of the article if it was genuinely meant to apply to the entire thing), but without any indication of why neutrality might be disputed it appears to be a case of WP:DRIVEBY. As such, I simply removed it. -- Proginoskes (talk) 06:39, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

"Economics"
The section on Entropy (near the bottom, under Interdisciplinary Applications) strikes me as very oddly written, and focusing a ton of effusive praise solely on the works of one Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen. I think it'd be better if this could be toned down and made into a more generalized overview, instead of a section just crediting this one guy with being the brightest mind since sliced bread.

 * It was added by . He has also contributed over 80% of the article for Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen in the same style. It has been questioned on the talk page at Talk:Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen. While Georgescu-Roegen is very distinguished in his field, the article prose makes overly use of WP:PUFFERY and the WP:TONE is a too dramatic rather then academic.

== "Ludwig Boltzmann... found the link between the microscopic interactions, which fluctuate about an average configuration, to the macroscopically observable behavior, in form of a simple logarithmic law, with a proportionality constant, the Boltzmann constant, that has become one of the defining universal constants for the modern International System of Units (SI)". ==

Max Planck derived the equation, not Boltzmann, and Max Planck introduced the Boltzmann constant, not Boltzmann. 90.154.71.24 (talk) 18:02, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
