"
Thermodynamics is the study of relationship between energy and entropy, which deals with heat and work. It is a set of theories that correlate macroscopic properties that we can measure (such as temperature, volume, and pressure) to energy and its capability to deliver work."
Close...good effort. Pretty much reinforced my original point about men and women. More men here know about physics than women...because women don't care HOW it works...as long as some man can use it for their benefit.
Men want to know how things work, things that can be predicted...women want to know about people.
It's why men read popular science, popular mechanics...while women read People and watch the view.
Google is your friend. You can learn a lot if you look.
