Thermodynamics

Definition

The branch of physics dealing with heat, work, and the laws governing energy transformations.

Interpretation

The laws of fire. Thermodynamics reminds us: energy is never lost, only changed. And every transformation comes at a cost. These laws arenโ€™t just physical โ€” theyโ€™re philosophical. No growth is free.

Living Invitation

Observe a transformation in progress โ€” composting, cooking, conversation. Whatโ€™s being lost? Whatโ€™s being gained?
