“This is the story of Tom and his neighbours.
This is the story of Tom and his neighbours and his neighbour’s garden.
This is the story of Tom.
‘All of my neighbours are Classical Physicists,’ said Tom. ‘Their laws of motion are determined. They rise at 7 a.m. and leave for work at 8 a.m. The women take coffee at 10 a.m. If you see a body on the street between I and 2 p.m. lunchtime, it can only be the doctor, it can only be the undertaker, it can only be the stranger.
‘I am the stranger,’ said ...Tom.
‘What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?’ said Tom.
‘You can’t transfer heat from a colder to a hotter. I’ve never known any warmth from my neighbours so I would reckon this is true. Here in Newton we don’t talk much. That is, my neighbours talk all the time, they swap gossip, but I never have any, although sometimes I am some.’ ‘What is the Second Law of Thermodynamics?’ said Tom.
‘Everything tends towards the condition of entropy. That is, the energy is still there somewhere but for all useful purposes it is lost.MoreLess
