Abstract

The Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that the entropy of an isolated system cannot decrease, is a cornerstone of modern physics but raises significant issues in cyclic cosmological models. These models, which hypothesize a universe in constant expansion and contraction, seem to conflict with the inevitable increase in entropy, which would lead to a state of "thermal death." In this article, I propose an extension of the Second Law of Thermodynamics by introducing the concept of Informational Energy (IE)—a new form of energy related to the capacity to process information and organize systems—as a force capable of regulating entropy on a cosmic scale. Through theoretical analysis and the introduction of the formula IE = E/S, where Informational Energy (IE) is proportional to available energy (E) and inversely proportional to entropy (S), it is suggested that IE can stabilize entropy and allow for the existence of infinite cosmic cycles. This theory not only offers a potential solution to the paradoxes associated with cyclic cosmology but also opens new perspectives on the role of information in the evolution of the universe. Further research and mathematical models are needed to test this hypothesis and explore its implications on a large scale.
