The Solar System as a Localized Entropy Collapse: A Correlated Big Bang within a Steady-State Universe

This paper proposes that the Solar System is the result of a localized entropic collapse event, effectively a correlated Big Bang, embedded within a larger steady-state universe. By applying the entropy-decay framework previously developed, we analyse the structural formation, gravitational distribution, and material evolution of the Sun and planets. The Sun is modelled as a sustained entropic release point, while planetary characteristics are interpreted through entropy gradients and decay states. Special attention is given to the anomalous status of Earth and Venus, with a clear statement that the emergence of life on Earth remains outside the explanatory power of entropy-decay physics. This model reframes planetary evolution as one of many local collapses that punctuate a broader equilibrium-seeking universe.
