If you don't love a bit of science, then just skip to the colourful bit at the end. (Thank you Peggy. I love your beautiful small round head).
http://www.fact-index.com/t/th/thermodynamics.html:
Thermodynamics is the study of energy, its conversions between various forms, the ability of energy to do work, and the spontaneity of processes. It is closely related to statistical mechanics from which many thermodynamic relationships can be derived. It is not concerned with the concept of time, or that of rate of change (derivative in time). As a result, it has been suggested that this science should rather have been called thermostatics.
The Laws of Thermodynamics
Alternative statements are given for each law. These statements are, for the most part, mathematically equivalent.
- Zeroth law: Considered to be more fundamental than the other three laws, it was not termed a law until after the others were already in use, hence the number 'zero'. There is some discussion about its status. Stated as:
- If each of two systems is in thermal equilibrium with a third system, all must be in equilibrium with each other.
- 1st Law: Is stated as follows:
- Energy can neither be created nor destroyed only changed.
- The heat flowing into a system equals the sum of change in internal energy plus the work done by the system.
- The work exchanged in an adiabatic process depends only on the initial and the final state and not on the details of the process.
- The sum of heat flowing into a system and work done by the system is zero.
- 2nd Law: A far reaching and powerful law, it can be stated many ways, the most popular of which is:
- It is impossible to obtain a process such that the unique effect is the subtraction of a positive heat from a reservoir and the production of a positive work.
- The entropy of a closed system never decreases (see Maxwell's demon)
- 3rd Law: This law explains why it is so hard to cool something to absolute zero:
- All processes cease as temperature approaches zero.
- As temperature approaches to 0, the entropy of a system approaches a constant.
Right then. That's the "currently understood science" stated. Now on with the fireworks...

0th) You must play the game.
1st) You can't win.
2nd) You can't break even.
3rd) You can't quit the game."
Hmm, very clever, but not clever enough. It's a joke. A fix. A lie. (Garvey, well done that man).
Try this:
Life is actually an awesome casino. All the Elvises you can eat, and the win is guarenteed, guilt-free and glorious!
0th) Dedicate yourself to the game and we all win, and keep winning.
1st) Winning your bit of the game is as easy as doing what you love and listening for feedback.
2nd) Doing what you love to do at any given time will get you the best feedback. You just have to listen.
3rd) Best news? You get to play this game forever... And the long term win is guarenteed. No worries. Ever. Happy days :)
Come again?
Lets have another look shall we.
0th) Luke warm tea.
If you leave a cup of tea in a room it will equalise it's temperature with the room. This is a well known piece of hedge science, and the bane of busy tea drinkers everywhere. But who said the room was cold? If the room is blazing with the light of a million of our suns then the tea will get very excited indeed. It too will blaze.
We are creatures of energy, as is everything around us (tap your desk, that's congealed energy mate).
It takes one person to turn onto an idea that makes them blaze and they will take any who care to stand close to them long enough with them. With no irony at all (American trans. "I am completely serious"), I can tell you I am currently blazing. (All the malarkey on this blog is what happens when I blaze - and no, I don't mean that I'm stoned - what will you do?)
The laws of return state that where you give freely you will receive back 3-fold, but when you cheat you steal from yourself. If you have a look at this again, you'll see this is just a restating of the zeroth law. Put any two things together and the temperature will equalise. The more you put in, the higher the temperature at which equalisation occurs. The more people who do this the greater the exponential effect, and hence the good return on your initial energy outlay. It's science mate. Go forth and blaze and, slowly, you'll find that the world can't help but blaze with you.
1st) Energy can neither be created nor destroyed only changed.
As creatures of energy, imagination and story we have the power on a moment to moment basis to transform energy. And best of all, the easiest way to do this is to have a laugh. How amazing does everyone feel after they've had a good laugh? The air sparkles don't it.
So don't sit in your brain when trying to figure something out, it's the equivalent of constantly clicking your mouse when you PC is trying to think (I mean process…). Go do something fun, your mental secretaries will thank you for the air and you'll get your answer that much quicker. You can answer any question this way. For example: What is your deepest love..? (And if you find the answer to that question, blazing is assured).
And the best bit is, you don't need anything more than you already have. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. All you need do is look at exactly what you got, inside and out, and laugh. Let's face it, you are funny. Just look at you! Hilarious :)
There are a couple of rules you may wish to note as you evolve from a meat creature into a supernova, just cos it'll make things easier. Who wants a hard life? Have a look: http://tlandu.blogspot.com/2010/09/open-source-code.html
2nd) Entropy.
In other words, everything is a bit leaky. All things, whatever they are, radiate (lose) energy. Of course they do! Everything is constantly trying to communicate with everything else. And we blessed creatures have the ability to interpret the messages encoded in this leaky energy. Each message like a little song telling you what the thing is all about and where it currently is on it's journey through time.
Go somewhere you find beautiful and just listen. Watch the images that flash before you. We are all living in a multidimensional puzzle game. Like Zelda. Play your flute, don your mask. Really fucking listen, and then go do exactly what the excited whispers of inspiration tell you to do.
But don't ever stop listening.
Everything is singing, and if you can hear it, it's singing for you. By the same truck, if you don't love something, can't listen to it with an open heart, then leave it alone, it's not for you. Including this blog. Seriously, don't worry about it. If it's important it'll catch up with you soon enough.
3rd) All processes cease as temperature approaches zero.
But absolute zero is not possible to achieve in this universe, and therefore processes will never cease. Why is that? Well. Go read Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch (quite a Guy). I'm currently on page 28.
Hey, Book club! Jump in, give it a read, and let me know what you think you fascinating creature.
Summary
Am thoroughly looking forward to seeing this world blaze bright with the awesome light of more than 6 billion supernovas. But don't fret it. All in your own good time Guy, at your own sweet pace, with a temperature you find agreeable and the beverage of your choice. Yeah it's the start of something new, big, and fantastic. But it's also very chilled, ridiculously easy, and more than anything else, profoundly fucking funny.

PS
Phil tells me I need to hold fire until I've finished the book before I really try and get any kind of message out there. Luckily no one is really reading this blog at the mo, so I can post with impunity. Once I've done the book (and the other 2 bits) I think it'll be time for an email.
It's now 22:10 10.10.2010. Make a wish...
