Science has thousands of years of progress behind it.There can never be total abandonment of the randomness and purely mechanistic picture which previous centuries has given us.But there can be a subtle shift in the direction of a user-friendly and more certain universe (even incorporation of certainty at the level of quantum mechanics).This might be summed up this way -when a complete theory of Quantum Gravity arrives and unites Quantum Mechanics with General Relativity, the heat produced by each of its seemingly closed systems wouldn't simply be wasted.The energy created by the entropic 2nd Law of Thermodynamics would be diverted into the 1st Law of Thermodynamics i.e. the total mass-energy in the universe would forever remain constant, with mass and energy being converted into one another.It might be said that although no component of the universe can display the perpetual motion of existing forever, it's plausible to regard the entire universe (entirety of spacetime) as in perpetual motion.Anticipated certainty in quantum mechanics means it's entirely possible that there may not even be a red giant phase for the Sun.This relies on entropy being looked at from another angle -with the apparent randomness in quantum and cosmic processes obeying Chaos theory, in which there's a hidden order behind apparent randomness.This apparent randomness is due to the binary digits of one and zero being Hidden Variables that are compatible with quantum entanglement.Expansion to a Red Giant could then be described with the AfricArXiv • SDG 1: NO POVERTY
