Quotes About Heat

The heat made people crazy. They woke from their damp bedsheets and went in search of a glass of water, surprised to find that when their vision cleared, they were holding instead the gun they kept hidden in the bookcase.
~ Kristin Hannah
In 1877 he published his paper "Probabilistic foundations of heat theory", in which he formulated what Einstein later called the Boltzmann principle; the interpretation of the concept of entropy as a mathematically well-defined measure of what one can call the "disorder" of atoms, which had already appeared in his work of 1872, is here extended and becomes a general statement.
~ Carlo Cercignani
The consequences of Thomson's Principle of Dissipation were elaborated by Hermann von Helmholtz, who two years later described the "heat death" of the universe, the consequence of the transformation of all energy into heat [14].
~ Carlo Cercignani
The First Law starts from the fact that in any physical system there are two kinds of energy (for simplicity, we ignore the possible presence of electric and magnetic fields), mechanical and thermal. Their sum may change because one performs work on the system or supplies heat to the system.
~ Carlo Cercignani
The First Law simply states that the change in total energy equals the work performed on, plus the heat supplied to, the system (measured in suitable units).
~ Carlo Cercignani
Now up to the end of the eighteenth century, notably in the work of chemists, heat was treated as a substance, named caloric by the great French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743–1794), who made the first attempt to introduce the methods and concepts of physics laid down by Galileo and Newton into chemistry.
~ Carlo Cercignani
heat "always shows a tendency to equalize temperature differences and therefore to pass from hotter to colder bodies" [15]. A
~ Carlo Cercignani
The heat of black holes is like the Rosetta stone of physics, written in a combination of three languages- quantum, gravitational, and thermodynamic- still awaiting decipherment in order to reveal the true nature of time.
~ Carlo Rovelli
if nothing else around it changes, heat cannot pass from a cold body to a hot one......This is the only basic law of physics that distinguishes the past from the future.
~ Carlo Rovelli
All of this, I believe, indicates that in order to grasp the basic grammar of the world, we need to merge three basic ingredients, not just two: not just general relativity and quantum mechanics, but also the theory of heat, that is, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, which we can also describe as "information theory.
~ Carlo Rovelli
The difference between past and future only exists when there is heat. The fundamental phenomenon that distinguishes the future from the past is the fact that heat passes from things that are hotter to things that are colder.
~ Carlo Rovelli
There is no preferred direction of time without heat.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Büyük bir y?ld?z tüm yak?t?n? (hidrojeni) tüketti?inde sönmeye ba?lar. Geriye kalanlar, yanmadan kaynaklanan ?s?yla ayakta kalamaz, kendi a??rl???yla çöker, uzay? o kadar güçlü bir biçimde e?er ki gerçek bir deli?e dü?er. Bunlar ünlü karadeliklerdir.

~ Carlo Rovelli
Black hole heat is directly connected to loop quantum gravity's fluctuations of the atoms of space.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Quantum uncertainty across the horizon of the black hole generates fluctuations of the horizon geometry. But "fluctuations" imply "probability," and probability implies thermodynamics, and therefore temperature. Concealing from us a part of the universe, a black hole makes its quantum fluctuations detectable in the form of heat.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Heat, entropy, and the lower entropy of the past are notions that belong to an approximate, statistical description of nature.
~ Carlo Rovelli
In tutti i casi in cui non viene scambiato calore, infatti, oppure quando il calore scambiato è trascurabile, noi vediamo che il futuro si comporta esattamente come il passato.
~ Carlo Rovelli
The crucial point here is the difference from what happens with falling bodies: a ball may fall, but it can also come back up, by rebounding, for instance. Heat cannot. This is the only basic law of physics that distinguishes the past from the future.
~ Carlo Rovelli
In the elementary equations of the world,13 the arrow of time appears only where there is heat.* The link between time and heat is therefore fundamental: every time a difference is manifested between the past and the future, heat is involved. In every sequence of events that becomes absurd if projected backward, there is something that is heating up.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Geçmi? ile gelecek aras?ndaki fark yaln?zca ?s? söz konusu oldu?u zaman vard?r. Gelece?i geçmi?ten ay?ran temel olay, ?s?n?n daha s?cak nesnelerden daha so?uk nesnelere geçmesidir.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Is?, s?cak nesnelerden so?uk nesnelere mutlak bir yasan?n zorlamas?yla geçmez: Yaln?zca bu yöndeki geçi?i daha yüksek bir olas?l?kla olur. Bunun nedeni iste ?udur: S?cak nesneye ait daha h?zl? bir atomun daha so?uk bir atoma çarpmas? ve enerjisinin biraz?n? b?rakmas? ve bunun tersinin olmamas?, istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek bir olas?l?kt?r.
