First Law: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore we can only transfer it from one form to another. What we deem as toxic waste is waste that is not easily or cost effective to transfer back to a state which we can live with. Seeing that we can not create anything from nothing raises the question..."who can"

Second Law: The second law is expressed mathematically in terms of the concept of entropy. Entropy being a state of confusion or disorder. If I jumped out of a car at 25mph and let the car roll, it would stop. If there was not any friction applied to the car, the car would never stop. It would stay in motion untill something stoped it (brakes, tire friction, wall). So this world would constantly decay to an unusable state if something did not keep it's pulse beating. The world would not be destroyed, it would simply transfer its self to a different (possible unusable) form. We can see this happening to a small degree over the 1000s of years that we have actual records.




Shit. And I came here to relax!
