Wow: The last Wow:
(A)
"Finding a Universe in which energy is not being lost, Einstein assumed a finitely regenerative physical Universe. Some of the regenerative transformations occur rapidly; others very slowly. As energies which were in smooth coordination within a system are given off entropically they do not immediately synchronise with energies given off by other systems, due to the fact that every chemical element has its unique frequencies. Toothed gears correspond with wave frequency cycles. Waves are cyclic. Whatever the number of teeth might be, we can call the wave frequency. Two gears that do not mesh can only be brought into tangent proximity and take up more room than do meshing gears. Frequencies given off entropically that don’t mesh with energies given off by other systems take up more room in Universe. Therefore we have a physically entropic Universe that is everywhere locally taking more room, ergo expanding, and increasingly disorderly, from the short time-span local viewpoint. However, from time to time you will have frequencies synchronized. You may be familiar with the sound of an airplane’s engines when they are not synchronized. You hear them go, periodically . . wow . wow … wow … wow … wow … because every so often they do
