Thanks to John A for this horrifying news from #climate hero Bill McKibben [350.org]
"76.9 degrees Fahrenheit...
That was the average temperature for the lower 48 states in July, according to just-released federal #statistics, making it the hottest month in American history, 3.3 degrees hotter than the twentieth-century average."

அனைவருக்குமான இயற்பியல் இயக்கம், வெப்பம் (Physics For Everyone Motion, Heat In Tamil ) by எல். லாண்டாவோ (L. Landau); அ. கிட்டகரோட்ஸ்கி (A. Kitaigorodsky)
We have tried to write this book in a light and simple style, not denying ourselves the pleasure of an occasional joke with the reader. But this does not in any way mean that our Physics for Everyone is an easy book. Many of its pages must be read attentively for a long time; in order to understand physics, one must very often think hard and tensely.
The book’s main concern is the fundamental laws and concepts of physics. However, we have tried not to forget about illustrations from life and technology, true, not having the aim of dealing in any way with the inexhaustible field of applied physics.
நாங்கள் இந்தப் புத்தகத்தை இலகுவான மற்றும் எளிய பாணியில் எழுத முயன்றுள்ளோம், வாசகருடன் பொழுதுபோக்கு செய்யும் occasional ஜோக்குகளை நாங்கள் தவறவில்லை. ஆனால் இது எங்கள் ‘எல்லோருக்கும் புவியியல்’ ஒரு எளிய புத்தகம் என்பதை பொருளல்ல. அதன் பல பக்கங்களை கவனமாகவும் நீண்ட நேரம் வாசிக்க வேண்டும்; புவியியலைப் புரிந்துகொள்ள, பல முறை தீவிரமாகவும் சிந்திக்க வேண்டும்.
இந்த புத்தகத்தின் முதன்மை கவனம் புவியியலின் அடிப்படை விதிமுறைகள் மற்றும் கருத்துக்களிலேயே உள்ளது. அதே நேரத்தில், வாழ்க்கையிலிருந்து மற்றும் தொழில்நுட்பத்திலிருந்து எடுத்துக்காட்டுகளை மறக்காமல் இருக்க நாம் முயற்சித்துள்ளோம், ஆனால் வரையறுக்க முடியாத ஆபரேஷனல் புவியியல் பற்றிய விரிவான விவாதத்தை எங்களது நோக்கமாக வைத்திருக்கவில்லை.

কেলাসের গঠন (Molecules – Physics For Everyone Vol 2 In Bengali) by ল. লানদাউ; আ. কিতাইগারোদস্কি (A. Kitaigorodsky)
The book is devoted mainly to a study of the structure of matter dealt with from various aspects. The atom, however, remains, for the time being, indivisible particle conceived by Democritus of ancient Greece. Problems related to motion of molecules are considered, of course, because they are the basis of modern knowledge of thermal motion. Attention has been given, well, to problems concerning phase transitions.
এই বইটি মূলত পদার্থের গঠন অধ্যয়নের বিভিন্ন দিক নিয়ে নিবেদিত। তবে, প্রাচীন গ্রীসের দেমোক্রিটাসের কল্পিত অবিভাজ্য কণিকা হিসেবে পরমাণু বর্তমানে সেই অবস্থায় রয়ে গেছে। অণুর গতির সাথে সম্পর্কিত সমস্যাগুলি অবশ্যই বিবেচনা করা হয়েছে, কারণ এগুলি তাপগতির আধুনিক জ্ঞানের ভিত্তি। পর্যায় পরিবর্তনের সাথে সম্পর্কিত সমস্যাগুলোর প্রতিও যথেষ্ট গুরুত্ব দেওয়া হয়েছে।

I keep coming back to this relatively unknown Australian dissertation -- it's about doctor-patient relations dangerously being interfered with by penny-pinching admins (residents of Eugene, Oregon are familiar with this).
160 pages in, he wants to discuss patient suffering as an #entropy avoidance signaling system. >>
"Only within an arguable and extensive ontological frame can I then begin to make sense of the core question of how an administrative intervention has impacted on doctors’ perception of their relationships with patients."
"It will be proposed in the course of this chapter that suffering in human beings, in thermodynamic terms, constitutes a rapid increase in entropy. High rates of entropy threaten the overall viability of the organism. Rapid changes in entropy activate restorative homeostatic processes which includes recruiting the help of others. States of high entropy or rapid rates of entropic increase can be ‘reversed’ (that is, suffering can be relieved) through the introduction, from external sources, of intentional non-random energy (including new information) into the human biological system."
"Humans can signal to others that they are experiencing rapid increases in entropy (i.e. that they are suffering). In this framing, hospital Emergency Departments are places where extreme states of entropy (suffering) are concentrated as the suffering patient expresses a need for, and recruits, external inputs of restorative and transmutative energies."
"Through the act of suffering, humans can be conceived of as being bound together ethically, in that the route of concern for the suffering of others lies in seeing this as similar to the suffering of oneself. "
Katzir-Katchalsky is quoted: "Life is a constant struggle against the tendency to produce entropy by irreversible processes. The synthesis of large and information-rich macromolecules, the formation of intricately structured cells, the development of organisation — all these are powerful anti-entropic forces. But since there is no possibility of escaping the entropic doom imposed upon all natural phenomena under the Second Law of #thermodynamics, living organisms choose the least evil — they produce entropy at a minimal rate by maintaining a steady state."
<< #Ethics consists in readiness to serve the #homeostasis -- temporary reduction of rate of entropy -- of others.
Wow.
So, doctors (or anyone providing a service) address the homeostasis of clients. Management encounters institutional entropy due to energy outflow to clients, and attempts to address that. Over time, a hospital (or any institution) becomes entirely absorbed in strategies to maintain its own homeostasis and that of its upper management and the institutions and investors supplying it energy ostensibly intended to assist the clients. So there is an ethical/unethical tension built into any service system.
Five stars for this dissertation. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ >>

Programmable thermal radiation refers to the ability to independently control the absorption and emission of heat, allowing thermal energy to be directed, switched on and off, and stored like data in a microchip. This circumvents the traditional thermodynamic rule of reciprocity, which dictates that a material must absorb and emit heat symmetrically.

Barely able to disguise my contempt when a colleague happily announced their 'heat hack' of taking remote meetings to the car, engine running and AC howling because it's the only way they have available to remain comfortable for the duration.
How frightfully ingenious to make your problems everybody else's problems. Well done!

Surendra Saxena passed away last week at the age of 89.
He was prominent in the field of Thermodynamics of Natural Systems; both the theory & applications, ranging from nebular condensation to properties and processes within the Earth’s crust and deep interior. He also established a laser-heated diamond anvil laboratory for experimental studies under ultra-high pressure-temperature conditions.

Happy birthday to #physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879)! He dreamt up his demon to deal with the very odd 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (which is not a law like others, and can not be derived from first priciples). It states that two bodies of different temperature brought together in a closed system will reach thermal equilibrium; or, you cannot use a cold thing to 🧵

My Book “The Physics of Creation” Now on Sale on Creation Today
My book “The Physics of Creation: The Creator’s Ultimate Design for Earth” is now on sale on CreationToday.org. The PDF of the book can be downloaded for less than just $5. The book contains a lot of content that no other creation book presently has. Visit the site and support the Creation Today ministry by buying a copy.
The following are excerpts from the Creation Today webpage.
What if the laws of physics are evidence of a Creator rather than products of chance? In The Physics of Creation, physicist Dr. John Hartnett explores the universe through a biblical creation worldview, revealing how the laws of nature, the Earth, life, energy, the Flood, and even the future restoration of creation point to God’s purposeful design. Combining decades of scientific research with a deep study of Scripture, Hartnett presents a compelling case that the universe was created with intention, order, and purpose.
Can modern physics help us better understand the biblical account of creation?
In The Physics of Creation: The Creator’s Ultimate Design for Earth, renowned physicist and cosmologist Dr. John Hartnett takes readers on a fascinating journey through the physical universe from a biblical perspective. Drawing on more than fifty years of studying physics, mathematics, and Scripture, Hartnett argues that the laws governing the universe are not accidents of nature but evidence of an intelligent Creator.
Beginning with the six days of creation described in Genesis, Hartnett examines the physics behind Earth’s formation, the heavens, life, thermodynamics, energy, Earth’s magnetic field, climate, geology, and the global Flood. He explores how the physical laws of the universe reveal remarkable design and purpose, while also addressing the effects of the Curse, the reality of decay, and God’s sustaining power over creation.
If you want a different perspective of the history of Genesis creation to the present day get a copy.
