Jan 23, 2022 at 8:35 comment added anna v even in the radiation era there will be interactions of the constituents which will lead to an increase of the number of microstates to the macrostate, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy#Definitions_and_descriptions ."The concept of entropy is described by two principal approaches, the macroscopic perspective of classical thermodynamics, and the microscopic description central to statistical mechanics" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(statistical_thermodynamics)
Jan 23, 2022 at 8:25 comment added anna v Can you please give a link on your "some books give in order to prove that the entropy of the universe is conserved (S is constant)." or a book reference?. I am afraid you have misunderstood something.
Jan 23, 2022 at 8:22 comment added anna v @AdriEscañuela But you are using the thermodynamic formulas!!!
Jan 23, 2022 at 0:17 comment added Adri Escañuela @GiorgioP yeah, I know that people that work with thermodynamics have another understanding of "universe", but that's why the title says "in cosmology". Also, the question has been edited, I hope it's clearer now.

Jan 22, 2022 at 23:55 comment added GiorgioP-DoomsdayClockIsAt-90 @AdriEscañuela Without specifying which definition of entropy one is using, any statement about entropy is meaningless. Notwithstanding the claims of many cosmologists, it is not easy to connect some "entropy of the universe" with the usual thermodynamic concept. Moreover, it is not clear what $f$ is in your question.
Jan 22, 2022 at 23:40 comment added Adri Escañuela @BobD In cosmology, during the radiation era, entropy is conserved.
Jan 22, 2022 at 23:36 comment added Bob D " I've been trying to follow the procedure that some books give in order to prove that the entropy of the universe is conserved (S is constant". Where did you hear that? Entropy, unlike energy, is not a conserved property.
