It's more than just the transfer of heat, thermodynamics explains a lot of things about life as we know it and leads to advances in technology that change society. Laura, Ghinwa, Antonia and Emma talk about how this fundamental set of principles influence their understanding of the world, and use their diverse backgrounds to illustrate these principles. They discuss heat pumps and refrigeration (aided by a diagram), hot potatoes and eggs, why we sweat, Captain America, probability, and a mind-bending movie about the arrow of time. The incredible importance of the Gibbs free energy (ΔG=ΔH-TΔS) for predicting things like what happens inside futuristic Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) is explained. A handy guide to statistical mechanics also helped them out.
