  • 1. Laboratory of Theoretical Archaeology & Archaeonomy, Research Chair in Archaeological Science, Zaragoza, Spain

Description

Una nueva contribución de la «arqueología de los fenómenos sociales» demuestra que la segunda ley de la termodinámica no siempre se cumple entre las sociedades humanas porque la entropía, representada por la conflictividad social, no aumenta en todos los casos analizados cuando el proceso es irreversible; en cambio, sí lo hace la inestabilidad social.

Abstract (English)

On the Paradox of the Second Law of Thermodynamics in the Archaeology of Social Phenomena. A new contribution of the “archaeology of social phenomena” shows that the second law of thermodynamics is not always fulfilled among human societies because entropy, represented by social conflict, does not increase in all the cases analyzed when the process is irreversible; however, social instability does.
