How to Defy the Laws of Thermodynamics with Unique Creative Energy
Make content out of nothing but your personal experience.
In the mid-1850s, William Thomson and Rudolph Clausius stated the first and second laws of thermodynamics. They rationalized that energy is conserved and that heat does not spontaneously flow from a colder area to a hotter one.
I like to imagine that these two scientists, of English and Polish descent, respectively, pondered their theories over tea and crumpets in a room full of scrunched notepads and mathematical documents.
Their efforts might have looked like a modern-day collab: something my friends and I do when we have a great idea and want to bring it to life. We brainstorm at the coffee shop and finish the night over hard kombucha in the backyard. Anyway…
As a result of their efforts, Thomson and Clausius’ findings resulted in three laws that changed science forever. I’m going to focus on the first law, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
It’s a simple concept on paper:
- All the energy that flows throughout our tiny planet is limited
- We don’t create new energy
- We mold energy to work for us
