Energy makes our engines run, helps plants to grow and causes us to wake up every morning full of vitality. But there is something that does not add up. Energy – as I was also told at school – is conserved. It is neither created nor destroyed. If it is conserved, why do we have to constantly resupply it? Why can’t we just keep using the same energy? The truth is that there is plenty of energy and it is not consumed. It’s not energy that the world needs in order to keep going. What it needs is low entropy.
Hmmmm
