The deepest Humiliation

I'm not using this as one of my necessary blog posts for assessment, but I just wanted to mention that quote at the very beginning of the chapter. I've heard this before, and it's quite a true statement. We've now spent quite a bit of time looking at the second law of thermodynamics and the resulting phenomena of this law. Not to mention also that the maths of the law has also been successfully proven. Indeed, if something were to work against the second law, it would have such an impact upon everything around it, that it just couldn't be possible.

  1. I agree it is a great quote.

    I am not so sure that "the maths of the second law have been proven".

    Interesting reading is
