the second law of thermodynamics

基本解釋

For example, that there's a lack of transitional fossils and that the second law of thermodynamics makes evolution impossible.
例如，缺乏漸進(jìn)性過(guò)渡生物化石，熱力學(xué)第二定律証明了進(jìn)化論是不可能的，等等。
The British physicist and novelist C.P. Snow once said that a nonscientist who didn't know the second law of thermodynamics was like a scientist who had never read Shakespeare.
英國(guó)物理學(xué)家和小說(shuō)家C·P斯諾曾說(shuō)過(guò)一個(gè)不是科學(xué)家的人不知道熱力學(xué)定律的話(huà)就如同一個(gè)科學(xué)家未曾看過(guò)莎士比亞的著作一般。
This, in a nutshell, is the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the entropy (a measure of the disorder) in a closed physical system never decreases.
簡(jiǎn)單來(lái)說(shuō)，熱力學(xué)第二定律表明在一個(gè)封閉的系統(tǒng)中，熵是不會(huì)降低的。

It's almost as important as the second law of thermodynamics, which you'll see in a week or so.
幾乎同熱力學(xué)第二定律,一樣重要，你們將在接下來(lái)的幾周時(shí)間裡看到這點(diǎn)。
