EP 12 of the daily podcast, GET THE ROOM NOISE.\n"The\xa0first law of\xa0thermodynamics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics) is a version of the law of\xa0conservation of energy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy), adapted for\xa0thermodynamic processes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_process), distinguishing two kinds of transfer of energy, as\xa0heat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat) and as\xa0thermodynamic work (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(thermodynamics)), and relating them to a function of a body's state, called\xa0Internal energy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_energy).\nThe law of conservation of energy states that the total\xa0energy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy) of an\xa0isolated system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated_system) is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed."\nMusic by Blue Dot Sessions.\n-------------\nBLACK LIVES MATTER\n\xa0\nSupport from the comfort of your own home: https://www.communityjusticeexchange.org/\n\xa0\nFrom their website: "The Community Justice Exchange is a national hub for developing, sharing, and experimenting with tactical interventions, strategic organizing practices, and innovative organizing tools to end mass incarceration.
