Is it possible for an object to experience some type of Entropy by means of stressing their gravitational field?

 

Let's say, for example, you dropped an object into a gravitational field. The object can not reached the center of the field for some reason though, except that it's not being actively stopped by something, like a mass.

(Let's assume it's caught between to portals that lead to each other.)

In this case, the object will fall infinitely. If force is continuously applied to the object by the gravitational field, shouldn't the gravitational field be expended somehow?

Thanks!

Can you explain what you mean by this? If you have assumed something unphysical, then you can't expect an answer that conforms to physical law.

Erm, what I mean is: If something falls towards a gravitational field, should that expend energy after some point?

You can't "use up the gravity," if that's what you're asking. When two massive objects fall together due to gravity, gravitational potential energy is "used up" in the sense that it's turned into kinetic energy. And it can be converted back again.
