Abstract:
The concept and phrase "negative entropy" was introduced by Erwin Schrödinger in 1944. But the physical meaning of negative entropy is not clear until now. In this paper, the author shows that negative entropy will appear in the computational steps by using superluminal particles and also in the activity of living systems.
Key Words: negative entropy, negentropy, superluminal particle, computation, brain
microtuble, evanescent photon
Introduction
The concept and phrase "negative entropy" was introduced by Erwin Schrödinger in his 1944 popular-science book “What is Life?” [1] Later, Léon Brillouin shortened the phrase to negentropy [2]. In 1974, Albert Szent-Györgyi proposed replacing the term negentropy with syntropy. That term may have originated in the 1940s with the Italian mathematician Luigi Fantappiè, who tried to construct a unified theory of biology and physics. Buckminster Fuller tried to popularize this usage, but negentropy remains common. Ideas about the relationship between entropy and living organisms have inspired hypotheses and speculations in many contexts, including psychology, information theory, the origin of life, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
This, Schrödinger argues, is what differentiates life from other forms of the organization of matter. In this direction, although life's dynamics may be argued to go against the tendency of the second law, life does not in any way conflict with or invalidate this law, because the principle that entropy can only increase or remain constant applies only to a closed system which is adiabatically isolated, meaning no heat can enter or leave, and the physical and chemical processes which make life possible do not occur in adiabatic isolation. Contrary to this principle, it can be shown that the computation by superluminal particles, negentropy will appear during the computation.
In this paper, the negentropy by superluminal computation is considered and it is also shown that the negentropy will appear in the activity of the brain organism which is associated with the superluminal computation.
Entropy of Computation
We assume
the computation to be sitting in one of two states, with energy or
according
the definition given by R.Feynman [3].
Figure.1 The general transition during computation
As shown in Fig.1, the ratio of the forward to backward rate of computation becomes
,
(1)
where is
the Boltzman constant and
is
an absolute temperature.
According to Feynman, entropy of the computation can be given by [3]
,
(2)
Then we have ,
where
.
From which, the energy loss per step is equal to the entropy generated in that step.
According
to the paper by S. Lloyd [4], it is required for the quantum system with
average energy to
take time at least
to
evolve to an orthogonal state given by
,
(3)
where is
the Plank constant divided by
.
According to the paper by Musha [5], computation by using superluminal particles can be considered instead of subluminal particles including photons.
E.Recami
claimed in his paper [6] that tunneling photons which travel in evanescent mode
(i.e.evanescent photon) can move with superluminal group speed inside the
barrier. Chu
and S.Wong at AT&T Bell Labs measured superluminal velocities for light
traveling through the absorbing material [7]. Furthermore Steinberg, Kwait and
Chiao measured the tunneling time for visible light through the optical filter
consisting of the multilayer coating about m
thick [8]. Experimental results obtained by Steinberg and co-workers have shown
that the photons seemed to have traveled at 1.7 times the speed of light.
Recent optical experiments at Princeton NEC have verified that superluminal
pulse propagation can occur in transparent media [9]. These results indicate
that the process of tunneling in quantum physics is superluminal, as claimed by
E.Recami [6].

the relation
between energy and momentum can be shown as .
From which, we have [10]
.

Supposing
that the approximationholds,
Eq.(6) can be simplified as
.

This
relation is also valid for the superluminal particle (which has an imaginary
mass ),
the energy and the momentum of which are given by following equations,
respectively.

According to the paper by M.Park and Y.Park [11], the uncertainty relation for the superluminal particle can be given by
,
(10)
where and
are
the velocities of a superluminal particle after and before the measurement. By
substituting Eq.(7) into (10), we obtain the uncertainty relation for
superluminal particles given by
,

when we let and

Entropy of Computation by Subluminal and Superluminal Particles
If we
suppose is
,
(12)
where
is
the relative speed of the observer to the observed system and
is
the light speed.
If
we suppose the energy of the particle to be ,
the energy
which
is the energy of the particle measured by the observer can be given by
,
(13)
From
the equation, and
Eq.(3), the increased rate of entropy by the one step computation is given for
subliminal particles as
,
(14)
where (
:
speed of the particle for computation).
The calculation
result of Eq.(14) for the case of 50MPS (i.e.)
and
is
shown in Fig.2.
Figure.2 Increase rate of entropy for the subliminal particle.
From which, it is seen that entropy of computation is increased per steps by the computation using subluminal particles such as electrons.
For superluminal particles, we have from Eq.(11) as
,
(15)
By this equation, the increase rate of entropy per steps of computation by using superluminal particles can be shown as Fig.3.
Figure.3 Increase rate of entropy for the superluminal particle.
From this figure, it is seen that negative entropy is appeared for the superluminal particle.
For the point ,
the increase rate of entropy can be shown as
Figure.4 Increase
rate of entropy for the superluminal particle at .
From these figures, it is seen that entropy becomes negative value for the observer by using superluminal particles.
Superluminal particle inside microtubles
S.R. Hameroff suggested in his paper that a centriole cylinder composed of microtubules functions as a waveguide for evanescent photons, which can allow quantum signal processing [12]. Georgiev also proposed the idea that consciousness can be the result of quantum computation via applied laser-like pulses in quantum gates within the brain cortex [13,14]. Musha and Caligiuri have shown that super-radiant emissions could be used to signal qubits in a fashion similar to standing wave lasers in an ion trap computation by using evanescent photons and metamaterial [15].
Specifically the characteristic of a negative refractive index, in which the generation of evanescent photons is enhanced, and they can propagate lossless inside the neurons, according to these properties of the metamaterial [16,17].
From
analysis of the amplification of evanescent waves through a rectangular
waveguide filled with a metamaterial, of cross section size “”,
J.D.Baena et al.[18] has shown that the propagation of electromagnetic waves
along this wave guide is only possible if
,
where
.
Figure.5 Structure of the neuron and the microtuble
From this equation, the wavelength for the case where electromagnetic waves propagate through the waveguide becomes
.
(16)
As the
average size of microtubules is about ,
we can see Eq.(16) is satisfied for photons of super radiant emission.
Each
microtuble is a hollow cylindrical tube of tublin proteins as shown in Fig.5,
which outer core diameter is 25 nm. Microtubules are comprised of subunits of
the protein, named tubulin [12]. Proteins contain hydrophobic (water repellent)
pockets and these pockets contain atoms with electrons called electrons.
Microtubules are one of the cytoskeletal filament systems in eukaryotic cells.
The microtubule cytoskeleton is involved in the transport of material within
cells, carried out by motor proteins that move on the surface of the
microtubule.
Microtubules are very important in a number of cellular processes. They are involved in maintaining the structure of the cell and, together with microfilaments and intermediate filaments, they form the cytoskeleton.
They also make up the internal structure of cilia and flagella. They provide platforms for intracellular transport and are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including the movement of secretory vesicles, organelles, and intracellular macromolecular assemblies.
If the microtubules are composed of a metamaterial, the super-radiant emission can be used similar to the use of standing wave lasers in ion trap computation and they can be applied for the manipulation of water qubits inside the microtubule[19].
Figure.6 Quantum computation conducted inside the microtubule.
According to their hypothesis of quantum brain, microtuble quantum states link to those of other neurons by the quantum coherent photon tunneling (which has superluminal speed) through membranes in biological systems, functioning in a way that resemble to an ion trap computer [20].
Therefore it seems highly plausible that macroscopic quantum ordered dynamic systems of evanescent photons in the brain could play an essential role for quantum computations to exist in the brain. From this, it is seen that negative entropy will appear inside the brain when it functions as shown in the preceding calculations.
Result and Discussion
E.Schrödinger, contrary to the general tendency dictated by the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase – decreases or keeps constant its entropy by feeding on negative entropy. The problem of organization in living systems increasing despite the second law is known as the Schrödinger paradox. Schrödinger asked the question: "How does the living organism avoid decay?"
Organisms inherit the ability to create unique and complex biological structures; it is unlikely for those capabilities to be reinvented or to be taught to each generation.
But, from the theoretical analysis, negative entropy will appear inside the living systems if the activity of them relates to superluminal evanescent photons.
If this assumption is true, the life has negative entropy as claimed by E. Schrödinger.
From this consideration, the human mind might be consisted of superluminal particles, those have negative entropy.
Conclusion
The author considered on the negative entropy and it is seen that the negentropy can be observed in the computational steps by using superluminal particles.
If the microtuble structure inside the living systems can operate as a quantum computer by using superluminal evanescent photons, the life has negative entropy as claimed by Schrödinger in his book.
