Isn't first wrong when speaking of the 2nd law of thermodynamics in 1850? Carnot had already stated the 2nd law in 1824 (at least in some shape, maybe not general enough...). Marc Girod 16:54, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Creationism

I removed this from the article, it is best put somewhere else. --best, kevin ···Kzollman | Talk··· 03:35, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

Today the laws of Thermodynamics can be applied to Cosmology and Creationalism. The first law: Energy can not be created or destroyed,it merely changes form, could mean the Unverse did not create itself. And, the law of Entropy: that the universe and earth,too, are degenerating, confutes the futuristic idealism of spontaneous improvement and manifest destiny without devine intervention.

[edit] Article expansion

I have expanded this article, mainly using the book/articles cited under References plus the German WikiPedia article as my sources. This article probably still isn't complete, but I do feel the stub-tags may now be removed. Any objections/opinions? -- Wijnand 12:01, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

They've been removed. -- Wijnand 05:49, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Good work on the expansion; it is very difficult to find information on Clausius and his work especially between 1851-1865? --Sadi Carnot 21:07, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
