Entropy, Time, Space, Black Holes, Event Horizons

Emile does not understand time and space. Simple physical laws govern time and space, any scientist will tell you this. Our fanciful flights are not a replacement for mathematics and knowledge, no matter how much we might like to think that they are.

Emile's discussion on the Second Law of Thermodynamics is not correct. He assumes maximum entropy is perfect order, it is actually pure chaos, the exact opposite of order. This elementary error was common when the the word "entropy" was a neologism. Entropy may appear perfectly homogenous, to equate that with perfect order is completely backwards.
