The Score Takes Care of Itself

Bill Walsh

Joule used very sensitive thermometers to measure the temperature of water being churned by an assembly of revolving vanes driven by descending weights: this arrangement made it possible to measure fairly accurately the mechanical energy invested in the churning process. In 1847 Joule’s painstaking experiments yielded a result that turned out be within less than one per cent of the actual value. The law of conservation of energy – that energy can be neither created nor destroyed – is now commonly known as the first law of thermodynamics.

Energy

Vaclav Smil

one with a long experience of the difculties of logic and of the deceptiveness of theories which seem irrefutable, I fnd myself unable to be sure of the rightness of a theory, merely on the ground that I cannot see any point on which it is wrong. But to have constructed a theory of logic which is not at any point obviously wrong is to have achieved a work of extraordinary difculty and importance. This merit, in my opinion, belongs to Mr Wittgenstein’s book, and makes it one which no serious philosopher can aford to neglect.
