thermodynamic

Ultimately, according to our best understanding of thermodynamics, the universe will end as a cold, high-entropy soup.

The one law of physics that virtually all scientists believe will never be found to be wrong is the second law of thermodynamics.

Parent got the wrong answer, but nevertheless laid the groundwork for the second law of thermodynamics.

Working out these speeds involves getting deep into thermodynamics, which isn’t practical.

One feature about them, first noted by physicist Jacob Beckenstein, that is taken as a fundamental clue, is that their energy exchanges with the exterior are ruled by laws that seem identical to those of the thermodynamics.

The whole study of thermodynamic equilibrium has been reduced by the French mathematical school to a question of probability.

But then the source provided by the thermodynamic view just stated had ceased to exist.

In regard to thermal effects we can obtain some indications from general thermodynamic theory.

A certain assignment of value to it gave, as we shall see, Thomson's famous absolute thermodynamic scale of temperature.

At present we consider some of the thermodynamic relations of the properties of bodies arrived at by Thomson.
