Order Disorder: Atoms In The Scientific World

Order Disorder In the scientific world, every matter we know is composed of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are the basic structural components involved in the irreversible cycle of the cosmos shifting from order to disorder. In view of the fact, the concept of entropy can be used to demonstrate the intrinsic relationship between the universe and our environment. Allowing humans to have a better grasp of the underlying variations that occur moment by moment in our surroundings. Scientist like Nicola Sadi Carnot, Rudolf Clausius and Ludwig Boltzmann, contributed with their insight, about the origination of this natural process by analyzing the innate process of heat and motion. Consequently, creating a set of rules that assisted in the description

Around 1712, humans began developing steam engines to manipulate the production of energy to a greater scale. During those times, we didn’t know the exact details behind heat and motion; but still, we could make it function and work. Fortunately, after the steam engine became popular, many engineers began searching for answers about the basics of heat and motion, in order to understand this multifaceted mystery. Nicolas Sadi Carnot, a French military engineer in the early 1800’s was one of the first connoisseurs of the secrecies of heat and motion, and its vital presence in the environment. “It causes the agitations of the atmosphere, the ascension of clouds, the fall of rain and of meteors, the currents of water which channel the surface of the globe…” (Reflections on the Motive Power Of Heat, N.-L.-S Carnot, Page 38). His reflections portrayed that heat was a key player in the natural order of life, and that it triggered a chain reaction on its surroundings. In fact, the examination of heat in specific was a crucial step we had to take in order to understand how the universe operated. Mr. Carnot knew intrinsically, that energy could be produced by the flow of heat

Even though, there are higher heat temperatures surrounding the ice, its temperature doesn’t change in a solid state. Rudolf Clausius, a German physicist and mathematician, born in 1822, would further develop Mr. Carnot theory of heat and motion. He introduced strict principles of the second law of thermodynamics, which explains that the internal state of a system, in this case the ice cube, and the external state, the water, will eventually reach equilibrium. “Every force tends to give motion to the body on which it acts; but it may be prevented from doing so by other opposing forces, so that equilibrium results, and the body remains at rest.” (Hmolpedia Rudolf Clausius, Website). In other words, is that equilibrium is a direct result of the forces of motion acting on each of the bodies. Therefore, even if the ice is not subjected to melting temperatures, because of heat motion, equilibrium will eventually happen. Moreover, with this perception in mind, Mr. Clausius also expanded on thermodynamics and indicated due to constant disarray of elements; entropy is the ideal state that the universe will eventually reach. In short, he states that all natural events happening around us are contributing to a universal chaos. Subsequently, Rudolf Clausius supported the idea that the universe also acted as a whole and all the events happenings after
