The fundamental reasons for global catastrophes

Abstract: This paper uses a new statistical method for studying self-organization in order to explain the origins of global catastrophes, namely the exceeding of the critical level of the planet’s organization. This method differs from traditional methods, because it uses specific notions such as the “entrostat” and “critical level of the organization of the open system”.
Keywords: Self-Organization; Entropy; Entrostat; Global Catastrophes
