With the a little hydrogen, a few balloons and a couple of makeshift rockets, Valeska Ting launches into an explanation of what the first law of thermodynamics is, and why it matters to our lives.

We've all heard the rule that states that ‘energy cannot be created or destroyed’, or ‘energy is always conserved’. But what does that mean? Chemical engineer Valeska Ting explains.
The 2016 advent calendar explores the four laws of thermodynamics with a new short film each day, with explosive demonstrations, unique animations, and even a musical number. Open the calendar at rigb.org/advent?...

3:30 perhaps its a good idea to explain that is "useful work" in the context of "losing heat energy to the room". Basically, whatever "you want" is useful. If you were trying to heat up the room, then the energy given to the room would be "useful" and that used to create motion would be "wasted"!

in case you really are a teacher, i write to share a couple thoughts. in addition to the zeroth law, it is NECESSARY to define TIME/duration/persistence. you are invited to try to imagine even ONE closed system, in the real-world/universe. ( i cannot. ) imo, a closed system would HAVE to be opaque to magnetic forces opaque to cosmic rays; while NOT absorbing any energy and be unaffected by gravity and, probably, Not be moving. d

Human has a serious misconception about energy. Energy is usually expended by using direct. However, if we use energy indirectly, it can be used without spending zero percent. This way more energy can be generated without wasting energy.

Ok Einstein. It's the basic belief that all things in the universe will fall to disarray and entropy over time if left alone. Whether it's gravitational pulls, inertia, elements-contaminates in the air, etc. Take 3 or 4 books and place them on a shelf anywhere in your horse. Don't touch, look or even breathe on them for 3 to four months. Then return to those books. What do you find? They've collected dust, they appear to have even shrank or changed in size, the pages have lost their quality, the binding appears to have degraded some. Simply because it was exposed to air, not from being used improperly or anything else. They just sat there.

@@spatrk6634Again if energy cannot be created or destroyed then a universe from nothing is out of the question. Where did it come from?? Energy is not eternal because we are running out of usable energy everything breaks down decays and rots. If it was eternal then we wouldn't run out and the universe would not suffer a heat death. Science doesn't even deal with cannots that is a dogmatic pronouncement. Also entropy always increases in a closed system which leads to disintegration.

I get it but i dont belive it. The problem with imperial math like imperial science is it's always an estimate of somthing unknown. The problem with imperialism is we must follow the leader. Even Nicola Tesla gave room for error, and in doing that many have created free energy patents rejected by WIPO inducted countries. Just like they first rejected Nicola T. Who said energy can not be created or destroyed, just changed (1st law of thermodynamics) when the Dogon (an uncontacted tribe) knew stars that were later discovered. And we still have not discovered Sirius C. E=MC 2 is just a theory and only on earth. Einstein (the man who rode the coat tails of Nicola Tesla, then sided w Edison to create the electric chair to disprove AC (on the low) and even encouraged the US gov to create an atomic bomb, is not whose theories i want to follow. But while in school, the US wants two things from me: 1. Prove your work. 2. State your sources. Neither of which Einstien ever did. Tesla left the Philadelphia Project because he knew his machine was not to be used for that purpose. Even as Einstein wrote him letters starting with, "Dear Friend", and this is after Einstein helped Edison make the electric chair. And im supposed to follow, build upon and start all my inventions from his base? I think TF NOT! Although I agree, they were once friends, I know Tesla to be a smart man who actually invented things. My proof is that we all live and thrive from AC and I'm using wifi to send this message to the world. Everything from Einstien is just a theory, and Edison was a modern day Siemans whose workers invented everything while he played scientist and inventor. At least Siemans is honest enough to tell the truth. From Edison, Einstein to Elon, they are all the same person. Even Elon prefers Edison to Nicola Tesla. And I'll let you do the seach to find out why. My point here is the first law of thermodynamics is a bastardized theory that does not have feet...arms, leds or a head. "Energy can not be created or destoyed, it can only transform". FOH! Says who? Theoretics or ist. Prove it! So my challenge to young people is to find your own path is math and science. You don't follow the leader to find the truth, your are to learn from the teacher to find your truth, a different way. I tell them, "If you want to impress me, clean the air and the water. You store every disease on earth, but can cure the common cold. You have been given the recipe for water, but have no clue how to make it". But are excellent at making the greatest addictive drugs and bombs. FOH! I see you. Know that the greatest coco and poppy fields are either owned or sourced by big pharma, and these two trick ponies have no clue what vitamin a cactus provides. Trumps uncle helped reverse engineer the xray machine. And as the great marketing team they were, they touted it as a cure for cancer. Find the real path children. Stop following the leader. Everything you need is within you. Plastic was made by mistake, and look at what its doing to the earth. Im telling you, you dont need to site your sources to prove your work. You just have to repeat it to prove its true. There are rules, dont get me wrong. Do not mix bleach and ammonia half and half. But even thats 'proven' to be death. But enen knowing that you can find life. As my grandmother told me, "Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see". Not even me, verify everything I say/write. Yes, even me. Because who is he who is not faulty. And so is Einstein. He but a man, not the law. Only the universe knows the law. Learn about this universe. They said your generation would be wise but weak (because you'd be the generation with access to everything, but would believe nothing), prove those F'ers wrong. Believe in you. I thank you for listening. Truth Rules All Equality
