		<description>I look forward to it Sean.  But I bet you&#039;d sell more if you explained it all to your &lt;a href=http://scienceblogs.com/principles/2009/01/pop-science_book_racing.php rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dog.&lt;/a&gt;

Also: re entropy.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
Consider a muon. Before it decays is structureless and just like a stable particle in terms of properties, but when it decays there is then more complexity in the universe than before etc - how can entropy be coherently defined for such entities
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Not sure if entropy would increase in this reaction.  Muon decay goes like $latex \mu^- \to \nu_\mu + W^- \to  \nu_\mu + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}$.  That reaction should be reversible, and in chemistry, IIRC, a reversible reaction does not increase entropy.  I don&#039;t know, maybe it&#039;s different with particles.</description>

It worked in Wikipedia:Sandbox, let&#039;s see if it works here.</description>
