Overview
In 2017, Shirzadi, in his “Thermodynamics and Unconditional Love” talk, at Open University, first digressed on general thermodynamics, how negative Gibbs energy is the criterion for spontaneous reactions:
-
Spontaneous reactions occur if:
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS < 0
-
talked a little about money and entropy, or something to this affect, then interjected into his views on the thermodynamics of human chemical bonds (22:08-29:16), using the model of a newly married couple, as shown below, each of whom have 6 groomsmen and 6 bridesmaids: [1]
-
Wedding bonds
-
after which, as shown above, Shirzadi conjectures that the new marriage bond the bride has to her husband as well as the 6 friendship bonds she has to her bridesmaids, and the 6 new weak ties / social bonds she has to her husband’s best men are each quantified as enthalpy changes:

13 social bonds = enthalpy ΔH factors (see: human enthalpy)
13 social conflicts = entropy TΔS factors (see: human entropy)
-
Here, of note, we can compare this reduction to Frederick Rossini's 1971 "Chemical Thermodynamics in the Real World" lecture, wherein he described freedom and security in society as follows:
-
Freedom and securty
-
Shirzadi then jumps to the following:
-
[Untitled]
-
On the Boltzmann equation, which, to note, only applies to systems where the Boltzmann chaos assumption prevails (social systems are not gas phase systems):

S = k log W

he says that the W or multiplicity, when greater than one, refers to social bonding “options” or one can have “ten wives, ten husbands, or a thousand friends”, as he says (see: polyhumanide molecule). He then conjectures that potential social "conflicts", which may erupt between any one or all of the various combinations of social bonds and interactions equates to temperature increase (see: social temperature), which he says will produced the following conditions:
-
ΔH << TΔS
-
which will thus produce the spontaneity criterion (ΔG < 0), and thusly, in his concluding opinion "unconditional love" is thermodynamically impossible, i.e. unless the temperature gets too high, wherein even a strong marriage bond will not hold. Of note, on enthalpy change, he says the following:
-
“This ΔH in some cultures they call it ‘love at first sight’.”
-
Shirzadi also says that if the temperature is getting too high, thereby threatening the stability of the marriage bond, i.e. ΔH, one can "buy some flowers" (for your wife) and thereby bring down the temperature, i.e. lower the TΔS.

Education
In 2017, Shirzadi was a lecturer at The Open University and a visiting scientist at Cambridge University.
