-- Rudolf ClausiusSource : "On the Moving Force of Heat, and the Laws Regarding the Nature of Heat Itself Which Are Deducible Therefrom" (1851)
-
“The total energy of the universe is constant; the total entropy is continually increasing.”
-- Rudolf Clausius -
“The fundamental laws of the universe which correspond to the two fundamental theorems of the mechanical theory of heat. 1. The energy of the universe is constant. 2. The entropy of the universe tends to a maximum.”
