Like I've explained elsewhere:
Quote:I still don't understand, why don't bombs contradict the second law of thermodynamics? The second law of thermodynamics says that a body can't do work from its own internal energy (Croatian "unutarnja energija"), and that no body can convert 100% of the input heat to work. But bombs appear to violate that. They receive very little input heat, they have no external source of energy, yet they are supposed to do a lot of mechanical work. Exploding and destroying everything around the body is a lot of mechanical work, right? Does maybe "internal energy" (Croatian "unutarnja energija") in the 2nd law of thermodynamics mean something different than energy that's directly stored in the body? Does, for some reason, chemical energy not count as "internal energy" (Croatian "unutarnja energija")?
