The Invisible Dance of Energy That Powers Our Universe
Have you ever wondered why ice melts, why your coffee cools down, or why life itself exists? These everyday phenomena are governed by the laws of thermodynamics - elegant principles that explain not just how your refrigerator works, but how stars burn and why time flows forward. Though they began with studies of steam engines, these laws reach into the very fabric of reality. As physicist C.P. Snow famously remarked, not knowing the second law of thermodynamics is like never having read Shakespeare - it's that fundamental to understanding our world. Let's explore the framework that explains why anything happens at all.
