1. Thanks for the great read Travis; the series was great. As a thermodynamics instructor, I finished the term by rehashing a lot of our fundamentals and what we’ve learned to model, but add the caveat “Hey, it’s great that you can now mathematically calculate adiabatic flame temperatures, but don’t forget the wonder this stuff. There’s nothing more intimate than a candle between two lovers.” I appreciate the science. I find confirmation of my faith in the research and publication of findings. Yet, I know this was all created by a God who wants us to continue to find wonder in it all. That’s a hard thing to describe to someone who’s only focused on “answers”, so thank you for helping to keep both parts balanced.

      Why thank you, my fellow Travis. 🙂

      I should add that I’m quite impressed that you’re a thermodynamics instructor. What did you specifically think of me talking about the low entropy expansion of the universe in part 3? I mention I got that concept from Roger Penrose’s Cycles of Time, and while I think I understood what I read, I’m keenly interested in your thoughts on the topic.

What do you think?
