“the wiki-standard”

___*AKA*___
“BIG FREEZE”
“STOP MOTION”
.
-the [heat death] is a [possible final thermo-dynamic state] of the [universe], in which it has [run down] to a [state] of no [thermo-dynamic free energy] to sustain [motion/life]-
.
*in physical terms, it has reached ‘maximum entropy’*
.
*the hypothesis of a ‘universal heat death’ stems from the 1850s ideas of ‘william thomson’ (‘1st baron kelvin’) who extrapolated the ‘theory of heat’ views of ‘mechanical energy loss’ in ‘nature’ – as embodied in the first 2 ‘laws of thermodynamics’ – to ‘universal operation’*
.
(the ‘universe’ reaches a ‘uniform temperature’ so that no more “energy” (transfer?) is possible)
