By the way, my biographer Athel Cornish-Bowden recently discovered
that Clausius was dishonest and the concept of entropy is extremely
harmful:

ATHEL CORNISH-BOWDEN: "The concept of entropy was introduced to
thermodynamics by Clausius, who deliberately chose an obscure term for
it, wanting a word based on Greek roots that would sound similar to
"energy". In this way he hoped to have a word that would mean the same
to everyone regardless of their language, and, as Cooper [2] remarked,
he succeeded in this way in finding a word that meant the same to
everyone: NOTHING. From the beginning it proved a very difficult
concept for other thermodynamicists, even including such accomplished
mathematicians as Kelvin and Maxwell; Kelvin, indeed, despite his own
major contributions to the subject, never appreciated the idea of
entropy [3]. The difficulties that Clausius created have continued to
the present day, with the result that a fundamental idea that is
absolutely necessary for understanding the theory of chemical
equilibria continues to give trouble, not only to students but also to
scientists who need the concept for their work."

Since the concept of entropy is used by the silliest Einsteinians
(Stephen Hawking, Steve Carlip) in dealing with cosmological problems,
I expect cosmologists to realize soon that, in cosmology, the entropy
also means "the same to everyone: NOTHING". A deep analysis of the
entropy and the second law of thermodynamics is given he
