Re: Isolated
the universe can be considered isolated because energy nor matter can leave or enter the universe.

Re: Isolated [ENDORSED]
Since the universe is everything, it has no surroundings and thus no energy or matter can leave/enter the system, which in this case is the universe.

Re: Isolated
An isolated system is defend as a system in which no heat or matter is transferred into/out of. Because of the law of conservation of matter and energy, the amount of matter and energy in the universe is constant and unchanging - thus an isolated system.
