"ooooh nooooo but a rail strike around the holidays could cripple the economy" damn sounds like their labor is really really important and you should give them what they fucking want
Bitches love to be like "science sucks where are the eldritch horrors where is the knowledge thats maddening to know" that's thermodynamics motherfucker. The first two world experts in thermodynamics (Ludwig Boltzmann and Paul Ehrenfest) both killed themselves because they had to do fucking thermodynamics
Oh you want to use abstract methodology poorly-understood by most to study something so alien to human existence it cannot be intuitively understood, then in doing so uncover a terrible truth that implies the unavoidable doom of all humanity? Nice going dingdong you just found out about entropy
“Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.”
States of Matter (1975) by David L. Goodstein
Via Wikipedia:
[Boltzman] is buried in the Viennese Zentralfriedhof. His tombstone bears the inscription of Boltzmann's entropy formula:
S = k • log W
Having the formula for entropy — that fundamentally, all things must decay — inscribed on your tombstone is hauntingly poetic. Dang.
