“Nature prefers the more probable states to the less probable because in nature processes take place in the direction of greater probability. Heat goes from a body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature because the state of equal temperature distribution is more probable than a state of unequal temperature distribution.” StatesBodyScienceProcessNatureGreaterHigherEqualHeatProbabilityDistributionTemperature Book:Eight Lectures on Theoretical Physics Delivered at Columbia University in 1909 Source: Eight Lectures on Theoretical Physics Delivered at Columbia University in 1909

“The mathematical thermology created by Fourier may tempt us to hope that, as he has estimated the temperature of the space in which we move, me may in time ascertain the mean temperature of the heavenly bodies: but I regard this order of facts as for ever excluded from our recognition. We can never learn their internal constitution, nor, in regard to some of them, how heat is absorbed by their atmosphere. We may therefore define Astronomy as the science by which we discover the laws of the geometrical and mechanical phenomena presented by the heavenly bodies.” MayMeanFactsBodyMovingLawOrderSpaceConstitutionRegardAstronomyRecognitionMathematicalAtmosphereHeatInternalsHeavenlyTemperatureExcludedHeavenly BodiesFourier Book:The Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte Source: The Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte
