Entropy and Energy

It uses a huge glossary, and it has references in order to cover any doubt we could
have.

The first part of the book, Césarman started explaining what the matter is. It was a
simple question the scientist had made and they struggled thinking about it.
Anaxagoras described a different concept of the matter by saying the matter was
constituited by little particles of equal features of the system where it is integrated,
taking into account they have the same quality, but he was accused by being
wicked and blasphhemous and his thoughts were rejected by Socrates and Platon.

Leucipo was the first one knowing the matter is made of little particles called
“atoms” and he established the principle of causality.

The scientist of modern physiks has recognized the geniality of those brilliant greek
philosophers and associating their ideas with the great genius Albert Einstein, who
proved the existence of the atoms and pointing out the relationship of matter with
energy.

There’s invisible forces as well: the gravity.

It was an incognita that was solved by Newton proposing three laws of motion that
changed the world and the way people visualized it.
The first law of motion says that nothing changes its movement as long as a
external body or force acts in it, that’s the inertia law.

The second law of motion says that the change of the intensity of the mouvement
is proportional to the intensity of the forces and the time in what it is acting, in other
words, when a constant force acts on a massive body, it causes it to accelerate in
the direction of the force, (F=ma).

The Surface of the earth atract bodies like a magnet whith a force and it modifies
its displacement, with an aceleration of 9,8 m/sec^2, so the gravity force is equal to
inertia x aceleration x mass x g.

The third law of Newton says that for every action there’s an equal and opposite
reaction.
