I was trying to explain this to my sister – or at least, the concept that everything is finite (we have *very* strange conversations), but I cannot explain it to save my life. What’s a good way of explaining entropy and the basics of thermodynamics to a layperson?
In: Physics
In order for something to be hot, something around it has to be colder than it. Otherwise it’s not a hot thing, it’s just a room-temperature thing.
Eventually there will likely be a time when everything has reached the same temperature. Nothing will be hotter than anything else anymore, ergo nothing will ever be “hot” ever again.
Heat death is not the death of all things via heat. Heat death is the *death of heat itself*.
