The physic police need to arrest a lot of helium atoms for breaking the law. The only answers that I saw to the question were: "Thermodynamics does not cancel gravity." Which was elaborated in a later post to: "You cannot create energy out of nothing. Nothing in thermodynamics cancels gravity." It didn't cite any law, but it indirectly describes the first law of thermodynamics. GasGuzzler, can you remind me of any more explicit answer that I did not see? Anyway, the entirety of Into the Night's explanation were these three sentences, as far as I could tell. Not a very compelling argument. Not even a coherent argument. Acknowledging the scientific fact that helium CAN escape the atmosphere does NOT imply that thermodynamics somehow "cancels gravity." Anyway, I'm glad that it is being discussed on THIS thread, rather derailing every discussion on every other thread. Does thermodynamics really prove that increasing the atmospheric concentration of a gas such as carbon dioxide cannot possibly result in an increase to air temperature at the Earth's surface? No it does not. At least, not the kind of thermodynamics they taught me in physics classes at the University of California. Actually, I took physics courses at all three schools I got degrees from: Santa Cruz, Berkeley, and Davis. What effs up every thread here is not classic thermodynamics. It is neo thermodynamics, para thermodynamics, or just pseudo thermodynamics. |

Google search keywords: Does helium leave the atmosphere? "Helium is produced by radioactive decay of heavy elements within the earth's crust. Given the amount being produced and the estimated age of the earth, there should be very much more of it in the atmosphere than the present 4 to 5 parts per million. It is clear that it escapes, as indeed do other light gases." Google may not be God, but why would they bother to participate in a conspiracy to lie about this issue? Anyone who does this search will find hundreds of references, many of them peer-reviewed scientific papers, to verify the assertions of the summary paragraph. Why would they all conspire to promote a lie? What good does it do the the Marxist libtard gullible corrupt evil disciples of the Church of Global Warming to push a BIG LIE about HELIUM LEAVING THE ATMOSPHERE? ------------------------------ HELIUM FUN FACTS At least 1600 metric tons of He leave the atmosphere each year to outer space. This is the most conservative (low end) estimate I could find. The atmosphere is 5 ppm He. 1600 metric tons per year only represents 1 out of every 2 million metric tons of total He in the atmosphere. If one were concerned that our atmosphere is losing precious helium, it might be dismissed as a negligible loss. But then multiply it by 2 million years at that rate, and it is the entire 5 ppm of He in the atmosphere. Multiply it by 2000 million years, and we lost 5000 ppm of He from the atmosphere. The Earth's peak production of helium via alpha particle emission in nuclear reactions was LONG before 2000 million years ago. And if there were 5000 ppm He in the atmosphere today, it would certainly be lost to outer space at a rate MUCH higher than 1600 metric tons per year. |

"Helium is not created by fission." - Into the Night A unilateral authoritative proclamation decrees that "helium is not created by fission". The closest thing to a citable reference is the (clearly self evident) omniscience and scientific infallibility of the proclaimer. Becoming more and more obvious that Into the Night doesn't really know ANYTHING about thermodynamics. "Thermodynamics does not cancel gravity". It is a very short list of things that DO cancel gravity. And it is a very very very LONG list of things that science is NOT. Be sure to keep us informed. So, all the earth scientists are WRONG about the ORIGIN of helium as a product of heavy element fission reactions emitting alpha particles, AND they are WRONG that nearly all the helium that used to be in the atmosphere floated off into outer space. How do we know? Because Into the Night decrees it to be so. And THAT is all the proof that anyone could ever need. Into the Night wrote:Im a BM wrote: |

I have no peer-reviewed scientific publications about thermodynamics. I DO have widely-cited, peer-reviewed scientific publications about the biogeochemistry carbon and nitrogen cycling. Many of the citations are in papers about climate change research, or applied biogeochemistry for climate change mitigation. One of the most recent ones came out just over a month ago, in fact. Published April 10, 2024. B. Adamczyk. 2024. Tannins and climate change: Are tannins able to stabilize carbon in the soil? Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Volume 72, Issue 16, Pages 8928-8932. Cited my published research because I showed how tannins influence carbon and nitrogen cycling, most famously in a 1995 paper in the journal Nature. I stuck to my own threads about biogeochemistry, and avoided the incessant discussion of "thermodynamics" on nearly every other thread on this website that even pretended to be about climate change or anything related to it. But the "thermodynamics" discussion didn't steer clear of ME. My threads were constantly trolled by the thermodynamics experts, constantly telling me that my biogeochemistry was all wrong because I was "ignoring the 1st law of thermodynamics". So, I figured it makes sense to have a thread specifically dedicated to allowing the "resident science experts" to explain the "thermodynamics" connection. So far, they have utterly failed to rise to the challenge. Swan wrote:Im a BM wrote: |

The earth has been at once a molten blob with a surface temperature over 5000 degrees. But then it started to cool down. At one point the oceans started to rain down. The incredibly thick atmosphere full of CO2 and other greenhouse gases started to dissolve into the oceans. The earth continued cooling. At one point ice stated to form on the poles. The earth continued cooling. The earth has been cooling down historically, it cools down today and it will continue to cool down in the future. The molten core inside the earth is cooling. Simple as that. This is simple thermodynamics - everything hot will eventually cool down. The molten core inside the earth inevitably cools down and nobody is going to refuel it again. Greenhouse gases have been historically in the atmosphere but the earth still cooled down. We can argue that maybe they slowed down cooling. But the end result is still cooling not heating. Also, it they would slow down cooling then it would be beneficial to add them into the atmosphere because we would not want to hurry up cooling. Warmer planet is better for survival. |

This thread topic is the specific issue that most often dominates any discussion of climate on this website. Is climate change even theoretically possible?

Opening salvo. The term "thermodynamics" is very frequently invoked in discussions on this website. The thread title says "Neo Thermodynamics". Perhaps it should have said "Para Thermodynamics" or "Parathermodynamics". That is because the arguments presented at this website are inconsistent with what is classically called thermodyamics, and represent a major revision. For example, within classical thermodynamics it IS theoretically possible for a molecule of hydrogen gas (H2) to leave the Earth's atmosphere and float off into outer space. Helium too. That's why there is no helium left in the atmosphere. But, according to parathermodynamics, it is NOT possible for these lightest gases to escape the Earth's atmosphere. It would violate the laws of "thermodynamics", as revised for the new paradigm. Make that "as revised for the new paraparadigm." |

"There is helium in the atmosphere." - Into the Night In a rare deviation, ITN has posted a sentence of accurate science. Yes, there is helium in the atmosphere. About 5 ppm. He = 0.00005% of gas in atmosphere. Helium has been generated by nuclear reactions in the Earth's crust for about 4600 million years. It is too inert to bond to anything and end up in land or water. It eithers stays in the atmosphere or floats off to outer space. If it weren't floating away, helium would be present at double digit percentage concentration in the atmosphere today. Not just 5 ppm.

"Nuclear fission does not create helium." - Into the Night In the universe as a whole, it is nuclear FUSION that creates the most helium. Deuterium + Deuterium = Helium + ENERGY (one of the sun's many reactions) Deuterium is "heavy" hydrogen. It has a NEUTRON as well as a proton in its nucleus. But here on earth, this source of helium is limited to hydrogen bombs or nuclear research labs. Nuclear FISSION, here in the Earth's crust, often creates "alpha particles" An alpha particle is a helium nucleus with no associated electrons. It almost instantaneously becomes helium following alpha particle emission. And at least 99.99% of the helium generated by these fission reactions has long since escaped the Earth's atmosphere.

Nothing you write suggests that you have any idea. So, all the reports are wrong about how much helium has escaped from the atmosphere. Because "thermodynamics does not cancel gravity". The high bar for the kind of proof required to contradict the published science has not been met. Shouldn't you at least give a number for which law of thermodynamics would be violated by helium leaving the atmosphere? |
