Einstein's Refrigerator

Paul Sen - a documentary filmmaker dedicated to popularizing science - encountered thermodynamics while studying engineering. Thermodynamics studies the properties of energy and entropy, which explain the behavior of many physical systems, from the cells of living organisms to the black hole at the heart of our Galaxy. Nevertheless, thermodynamics generally remains in the shadow of other areas of physics. Seeking to rectify this injustice, Sen tells the story of this science and introduces readers to the works of a whole range of brilliant engineers, physicists, biologists, cosmologists, and mathematicians, from Sadi Carnot to Lord Kelvin, James Joule, Albert Einstein, Emmy Noether, Alan Turing, and Stephen Hawking.
