The laws of thermodynamics govern the behavior of energy in the universe from "summary" of The Science of Interstellar by Kip Thorne
The laws of thermodynamics are the fundamental principles that dictate how energy behaves in the universe. These laws are crucial for understanding the behavior of energy in all its forms, from heat and light to electricity and nuclear reactions. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. This means that the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant over time. In the context of the universe, this law implies that the total energy content of the cosmos is fixed and cannot be changed.
The second law of thermodynamics introduces the concept of entropy, which is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system. According to this law, in any isolated system, the total entropy always tends to increase over time. This impl...
