Libro 12 di 12: Physics Explained Simply
Sinossi
ENTROPY – THE DIRECTION OF TIME
Volume 12 of the Physics Explained Simply series
Why does time have a direction? Why does hot coffee cool down, while cold coffee does not heat up by itself? And how can the motion of countless particles give rise to a macroscopic arrow of time?
This volume offers a clear and accessible introduction to the physics of entropy. It explains microstates and macrostates, Boltzmann and Gibbs entropy, ensembles, temperature, equilibrium, and the laws of thermodynamics. It also explores heat conduction, irreversibility, fluctuations, free energy, exergy, heat engines, and dissipative structures.
The book connects thermodynamics with life far from equilibrium, decoherence, gravitation, and black holes. Entropy is not simply equated with disorder, energy, information, or chaos. Established physics, models, limiting cases, and open questions in quantum gravity are carefully distinguished.
An engaging volume for anyone who wants to understand why time does not merely pass, but has a direction.
