Shut the window you're letting in the cold

The correct parallel is that dark is lack of light.

To which i replied 2nd law of thermodynamics, the heat is getting out.

I thought the second law was to do with entropy?

Having looked at the bollox that Bacchus minor had to learn, so would I, despite an engineering degree and qualifying as a science teacher with physics to A level...

And English Language.

I believe that this poster may not be English... there's a clue in the username.

[SimonMac]

Surely the second law of thermodynamics, is that you don't talk about thermodynamics

No that's the first law of thermodynamics

His English is passable in a demotic way.
He'd definitely fail maths though.

Do you mean score less than Grade C or Grade G?

Quantum Physics changed all that, now if the window is open the cat might or might not be dead, depending what floor you are on.

[DodgyAgent]

Presumably if you open a window in totally still air then you get convection. Hot air flowing out of the top of the window will be matched by an equal volume flowing in at the bottom.

Are you talking about SASGuru?

No it's the 2nd. Honestly you people. The higher energy state in the heat is seeking an equilibrium with that of the cold outside, i.e. a higher state of entropy or the loss of ability to do work.

If the cold was getting in the fridge would be out of business!

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system never decreases, because isolated systems spontaneously evolve toward thermodynamic equilibrium

Look if you still don't get it, I can't help you. Stick to IT.
