Thermodynamics Quotes

The elevator shaft was a kind of heat sink. Hot food was cold by the time it arrived. Cold food got colder. No one knew what would happen to ice cream, but it would probably involve some rewriting of the laws of thermodynamics. Terry Prachett
And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive; meeting; siring this precise son; that exact daughte? Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged. To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gol?... Alan Moore
I know this may sound like an excuse," he said. "But tensor functions in higher differential topology, as exemplified by application of the Gauss-Bonnett Theorem to Todd Polynomials, indicate that cohometric axial rotation in nonadiabatic thermal upwelling can, by random inference derived from translational equilibrium aggregates, array in obverse transitional order the thermodynamic characteristics of a transactional plasma undergoing negative entropy conversions."Why don't you just shut... Mark Helprin
I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer, born under the second law of thermodynamics, steeped in steam tables, in love with free-body diagrams, transformed by Laplace and propelled by compressible flow. Neil Armstrong
To pretend that civilization can exist without destroying its own landbase and the landbases and cultures of others is to be entirely ignorant of history, biology, thermodynamics, morality, and self-preservation. Derrick Jensen
Mark Hyman quote: "It is just physics - who can argue with Newton and the first..."
It is just physics - who can argue with Newton and the first law of thermodynamics? Mark Hyman
David R. Ellis quote: "Fourth Law of Thermodynamics: If the probability of success is..."
Fourth Law of Thermodynamics: If the probability of success is not almost one, then it is damn near zero. David R. Ellis
It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics, atomic structure or biological inheritance. Barry Commoner
Dan Castellaneta quote: "In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"
In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics! Dan Castellaneta
Seth Lloyd quote: "Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second..."
Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second law of thermodynamics. Seth Lloyd
Software is like entropy. It is difficult to grasp, weighs nothing, and obeys the second law of thermodynamics; i. e. it always increases. Norman Ralph Augustine
