The Second Law is concerned with the natural direction of change of the distribution of energy, something that is quite independent of its total quantity. (查看原文)
That is, we appear to have identified a fundamental tax: Nature accepts the equivalence of heat and work, but demands a contribution whenever heat is converted into work.
Note the dissymmetry. Nature does not tax the conversion of work into heat: we may fritter away our hard-won work by friction, and do so completely. It is only heat that cannot be so converted. Heat is taxed; not work. (查看原文)
