Consistent with Scientist A's position, over time entropy isn a closed system is known to increase. According to the laws of thermodynamics, this means that a closed system will eventually exhaust all of the free energy capable of performing work it contains. If Scientist A were to use this aspect of thermodynamics to support his position, how might Scientist B attempt to refute it?
By suggesting that the Universe is not finite, but is instead infinite and therefore cannot be a closed system.
By stating that stars have only a limited life span.
By suggesting that gravitational force will prevent the Universe from exceeding escape velocity.
By saying that dark energy fuels the acceleration ofn the Universes's expansion.

The
Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way Galaxy are set to collide with one another in roughly 4 billion years. Does this fact argue for or against Scientist A's position or neither?
It argues for Scientist A's position because the Universe's acceleration expansion causes the galaxies to expand into one another.
It argues against Scientist A's position because the galaxies could not collide in a Universe that is expanding at an accelerated rate.
Neither the two galaxies may be attracting one another faster than the Universe is expanding.
Neither the two galaxies will not collide with one another.

The Universe will have expanded to trillions of times its current size, with nearly no entropy.
The Universe will have expanded to trillions of times its current size, with nearly no free energy.
The Universe's critical density will have become nearly nonexistent.
