Mathematics of a shrinking universe

No.14342343 ViewReplyOriginalReport
The universe is always expanding. Entropy is always increasing. Are these two things related?

If the universe were instead always shrinking, would entropy always be decreasing?

A chemical reaction tends toward the more chaotic side of the equation: two molecules become three or heat is released. If the universe were instead always shrinking, would chemistry tend toward that which is less chaotic? Would chemistry run in the opposite direction? Three molecules become two or heat is absorbed? Is the increase of chaos caused by an increase of spacetime?

The end of our universe is calculated to be huge amounts of empty space, dying black holes, and photons traveling toward oblivion. If the universe were always shrinking, the end of the universe would be compacting everything into the smallest space possible, the pinnacle of order.

Why are scientists so against philosophers

I never understood the hostility that scientist have such contempt for philosophy. Makes no sense, since philosophy is the origin of science and many questions that philosophy has asked thousands of years ago have not been answered by scientist.

Why did my professor assign this?
Also, can any of you solve this simple retrosynthesis without looking it up? (Looking up reagents etc. is fine)

RNA replication

>“We found that the single RNA species evolved into a complex replication system: a replicator network comprising five types
