Not only that, but thermodynamics explains why we must eat and breathe, how the lights come on, and ultimately how the universe will end. The people who decoded its laws came from every branch of the sciences – they were engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, cosmologists and mathematicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir discoveries, set over two hundred years, kick-started the industrial revolution, changed the course of world wars and informed modern understanding of black holes. This book captures the thrill of discovery and the power of revolutionary science to change the world forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Sen's Einstein’s Fridge is a top-rated autobiography that delves into the mechanics of thermodynamics, providing a physical understanding of this theoretical field.
