I always liked the definition, "Chaos is the state of things where chance is supreme!" which implies a different dimension on its relation to entropy..

Interesting fact. If you like this kind of information, you might like Clifford Pickover's 1998 book Strange Brains and Genius, it's a pretty good read and has four pages on Einstein's brain. Later, Sadi

I made a first draft design for the possible printing of the encyclopedia in 2008 or 2009. Please leave comments or suggestions.

I've recently purchased the domain name (cost = $19.00/3-years):
eoht.info
to be the new home page for the encyclopedia of thermodynamics (EoHT). This will replace the original Wetpaint domain:
humanthermodynamics.wetpaint.com
To note, eoht.com, eoht.net, and others are already taken. However, the new top-level domain “name.info”, one of the new top seven generic top-level domains introduced in 2001, seems to be a good match for the encyclopedia, in that dot.info (short for "information) sites are those where people go to get information. See the following link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.info
I toyed with the idea of “eohtwiki.com” (which is available), but opted for the shorter one.
The change should go into effect in the next day or two.
Later,

Preliminary draft for AAPT Meeting, Harper College, 3/15/08
"KISS" PHYSICS
by
Ted Erikson, R/E Unltd. (Research/Education)
1226 E. Madison Park, Chicago, 16, IL
ABSTRACT:
The motivation for this paper evolves from the last 6 words in Roger Penrose’s ROAD TO REALITY, namely, " –something that we all have missed…..". Several hundred viewpoints, (of thousands available from google searches,) were screened. Time, mass, and gravity are prominent subjects; e.g., a NATO report (1) involving some 50 abstracts, a journal report on origin of mass (2), and gravity (3), respectively.
Without time there is no mass. Without mass there is no light. A "kiss" approach (trial and error) used dimensional analysis to derive a different slant on Physics. In short, from a given position, a mass travels from "here" to "there" while lighta is conceived to move such that it encompasses "area", not distance.
The formulas for Planck constant, light velocity and gravityb are interpreted such that their meanings suggest mass has a will to increase its size for a longer time c of existence.
Extremely short time primeval states appear below the Planck size while Biology correlates over 21 orders of magnitude (bacteria to whales) above.

(b) Fg = G (M m r)/ r 3 (i.e., same except cubic meters in G makes sense.
(c). t e =~ (M r 2 )/ h (i.e."existence" is about 10 –23 seconds for hydrogen nucleus..

Just to clarify, mass proceeds via a line whiile photons spread radially onto thue surface of a sphere, hence c^2 makes sense as an area acceleration rather than a distance acceleration. Also,now I am confused because Planck constant times frequency is energy, so what is mass times frequency? The same as mass divided by time? Uh Uh.

Georgi,
In your 1998 article:
http://www-lmmb.ncifcrf.gov/~toms/aaas1998/
You state that: "hierarchical thermodynamics (supramolecular thermodynamics of tissue and its aging in particular)"

Georgi,
One question I have is the distinction between "hierarchical thermodynamics", "macro-thermodynamics", and "supramolecular thermodynamics"? They all seem to be the same subject?

Georgi, so from your point of view, "supramolecular thermodynamics" is the thermodynamics of systems larger than gas or liquid phase particles? Also, can you type of a paragraph on how "supramolecular thermodynamics" applies to human communities in detail (with examples) and where exactly are the "supramolecular boundaries" in these human communities?

To note, the potential names (thus far) of the HT wiki are as follows:
A Human Thermodynamics Wiki (original name)
Wikipedia of Human Thermodynamics (current name)
Encyclopedia of Human Thermodynamics (desired name)
The new desired name, however, won't fit in the site settings naming box, which has a 35-character limit? I’m working with Wetpaint to get this updated. Please comment below if you have any naming preferences?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. Generally speaking, however, topic specific encyclopedias include the word "of" such as:
Gribbon's 1998 Encyclopedia of Particle Physics
McGraw-Hill's 2004 Concise Encyclopedia of Chemistry
Perrot's 1998 A to Z of Thermodynamics
Even other wiki-style online encyclopedia’s such as:
Encyclopedia of Earth
http://www.eoearth.org/
include the word “of”. In any event, I have been exchanging emails with the Wetpaint programming team, and it looks like they might be able to do some reprogramming next month, so that we can change the name from
Encyclopedia of Humanthermodynamics
to
Encyclopedia of Human Thermodynamics
Thank, Sadi
