Thermodynamics is the branch of science concerned with heat and
temperature and their relation to energy and work. Being concentrated on a
wide range of applications of thermodynamics, this book gathers a series of
contributions by the finest scientists in the world, gathered in an orderly
manner. It can be used in post-graduate courses for students and as a
reference book, as it is written in a language pleasing to the reader.
Carefully observing everyday motion allows us to deduce six essential
statements: everyday motion is continuous, conserved, relative, reversible,
mirror-invariant and lazy. This text explores how these six results are deduced
and how they fit with all those observations that seem to contradict them.
