Laws of thermodynamics


In thermodynamics, the laws of thermodynamics define the rules of temperature equivalence (zeroth law), energy conservation (first law), entropy tendencies (second law), and conditions for an absence of temperature (third law). [1] The combined law of thermodynamics is the combination of the four laws in one expression. The 1963 Flanders and Swann song on The First and Second Law plays in the adjacent video.

Laws of human thermodynamics
A common misconception arrived at when first thinking or theorizing about the conception of a science of "human thermodynamics", is to believe that there are some sort of special "laws of human thermodynamics". The first to arrive at this view was English physicist Charles Galton Darwin in his 1952 book The Next Million Years. [2]
