   For a while I thought thermodynamics was the most marvellous science,   
   but now I think that "entropy" is just a fudge to fill in the gap   
   after the enthalpy is measured.  So who ever proved that "disorder" is   
   a full explanation of so-called entropy?  I had the same thoughts as   
   Phil about the effects of scale on that interpretation (as well as how   
   it is different in space than on a planet), but casting it in the   
   light of the value of G is a new one.
