	Heat death of the universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The heat death is a possible final state of the universe, in which it has "run down" to a state of no free energy to sustain motion or life.
		Hermann von Helmholtz is thought to be the first to propose the idea of heat death in 1854, 11 years before Clausius's definitive formulation of the Second law of thermodynamics in terms of entropy (1865).
		Heat death is however not quite the same as "cold death" or the "Big Freeze" in which the universe simply becomes too cold to sustain life due to continued expansion, though the result is quite similar (see: [1] for a more detailed explanation).

	2002 GSSI Guidelines on Heat Safety in Football: Attacking Heat-Related Death and Illness in Football Players (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A lack of acclimation to the heat and poor cardiovascular fitness, especially in large and excessively fat players, are prominent contributors to heat illness in football players.
		It is the combination of a high rate of heat production by the muscles and inadequate dissipation of that heat because of the uniform and environment that leads to potentially catastrophic heat illness in football players.
		The commonly used Heat Index is a good measure of how hot the environment feels, but it is an inadequate indicator of the risk of heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses in football players.

	Heat wave death toll at 20; relief on way
		The latest deaths occurred Wednesday night when a transient was found dead in Phoenix and a 97-year-old Mesa man died in his bedroom.
		Still, day after day of such extreme heat takes a cumulative toll on the body and the damage can't be undone overnight, said Jeff Taylor of the Phoenix Rescue Mission, which has opened its campus during the day to give refuge to the homeless.
		But Phoenix's death toll includes a 37-year-old man found dead in his vehicle, a 66-year-old man found outside his home and three elderly women found inside their homes.

		Two INSERM researchers who delivered the report were to continue their analysis of deaths to determine what the actual cause was for the spike in mortality, the Health Ministry said.
		The heat wave swept across much of Europe, but the death toll was far higher in France than in any other country.

	What exactly is the heat death of the universe and where can I find out more?
		The opposite of 'cold death,' as you can see, is NOT 'heat death,' but actually the 'big crunch.' The 'big crunch' occurs when the universe has enough matter density to contract back on itself, eventually shrinking to a point.
		The ideas of 'cold death' and the 'big crunch' can be found in textbooks on cosmology, such as The Early Universe by Kolb and Turner.
		The heat death of the universe will only occur if the universe will last for an infinite amount of time (i.e there will be no big crunch).

	Heat death toll could be higher than thought (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Ten deaths is high for a single urban area, said Dr. Carl Parrott, the Hamilton County coroner, but that does not necessarily mean other urban areas aren't experiencing the same phenomenon.
		One reason Cincinnati's incidence of heat-related deaths is higher during this year's heat wave is that the Hamilton County coroner's office uses the same criteria used by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office in Chicago when that city recorded 465 heat-related deaths in a 16-day span in July 1995.
		In addition to the 10 deaths in Cincinnati, a dozen have been reported in St. Louis — where Dr. Parrott said death investigators from around the country are trained in spotting heat-related deaths.

	Elizabeth Hewitt- Generic Exhaustion and the "Heat Death" of Science Fiction
		Zoline writes that the heat death of the universe—the exhaustion of usable energy— depends on whether the universe is a thermodynamically closed system; but she also writes that "it is by no means certain, however, that the Universe can be considered as a closed system in this sense" (¶19).
		Thus, although Zoline refers to Dada artists throughout "Heat Death" in what appears to be a celebration of their promotion of the contingency of aesthetic categories, she also seems to suggest that Dada's failure is its inability to look beyond mere mirror reproductions.
		Pamela Zoline's "The Heat Death of the Universe" (1967), in which a domestic narrative of a day in the life of California housewife Sarah Boyle is punctuated by ruminations on entropy, chaos, and the heat death of the universe, often has been argued to belong only marginally to the category of sf.

		Heat death, as the ultimate ending state for the universe, is just a universal temperature, throughout the universe, right?
		Obviously, a species like that couldn't exist at the same time as a "heat death" by your definition of Heat Death because the species is part of the universe.
		You are right, nothing could live in total entropy, but because of the expansion of the universe the temperature at the time of the heat death will actually be very very cold.

	The Half-Life of Proton Decay and its Relation to the "Heat Death" of the Universe
		The metric equivalency between space and time is gauged (set, determined, regulated) by the universal electromagnetic constant c; the analogous entropic equivalency between space and time is gauged by the universal gravitational constant, G. G is related to c as entropy is related to energy.
		The difference between the entropy drive of light and the entropy drive of matter (think rocks) in terms of vitiating their respective energy forms is absolutely astronomical, equivalent to the strength differential between the electromagnetic and gravitational forces.
		This is because G relates spatial and temporal entropy, hence relating also the "heat death" of the Cosmos to its "information death" via the ultimate decay of the physical carrier (atomic matter) of the Universe's information content.
