#Heat, of course, flows from a hot body to a cold body. Think of a [[Silver Spoon|silver spoon]]. It's at room temperature. You put it in a pot of boiling [[soup]] and stir it, and suddenly it's hot. The metal is conductive, and so heat easily transferred from this hot body to this cold body. I don't know what to say about a [[wooden spoon]], though. Entropy, <math>\Delta s</math>, is greater than 0. Apparently the use of a [[time machine]] violates this law, despite time machines not necessarily relying on heat. | #Heat, of course, flows from a hot body to a cold body.

#At 0 K, where there is no motion at all, the value of entropy is 0. This is where we get [[Heat Death of the Universe]]. | #At 0 K, where there is no motion at all, the value of entropy is 0. This is where we get [[Heat Death of the Universe]]. | ||
