NOTES
This glossary of human thermodynamic terms is a work-in-progress; please feel free to send e-mail, make requests, corrections, etc., on any and all issues, questions, or editions, etc. Thank-you.
Heat: energy in transit; specifically field particle movement, exchange, or transfer.
Hierarchic Thermodynamics: the study of living systems on the basis of equilibrium thermodynamics and the physical chemistry of natural systems. This variation on the thermodynamics of living systems was developed and defined, between the years 1978-1999, by the Russian physical chemist George Gladyshev; see (article) Journal of Entropy, 1999, Vol 1. 9-20; see: hierarchic thermodynamics (URL).
HT: the abbreviation for 'human thermodynamics'.
HT Researcher: one who investigates exhaustively the applications thermodynamics to human life.
Human Chemistry: the study of human molecules and the social structures they form. Human chemistry is mainly concerned with the effects that depend on the outer electrons in the atoms of molecules.
Caffeine Molecule
C8H10N4O2
Human Molecule Orbital: the satellite-tracked 90% probability region, averaged over 365.24 days, where-to-find the components (i.e. protons, neutrons, electrons, and photons) of a human molecule at an give mathematically-predictable time over the substrate surface earth; being approximated via the following simplistic orbital map:
Human molecules, by particle physics standards, are 'bound states' of more basic constituents, the proton, neutron, and electron; wherein the protons and neutrons themselves are 'bound states' of more basic constituents, the up quark and down quark[14].
Human Molecular Spin: each human molecule has a characteristic spin; generally defined as the intrinsic angular momentum of a subatomic particle, nucleus, atom, or molecule about its own center of mass, that continues to exist even when a bound state particle comes to rest. Said another way, each human molecule has a specific circular-patterned motion within its molecular orbitals depending upon whether the molecule is location north or south of the equator in respect to the direction of earth’s magnetic field lines according to the right hand rule as dictated via Maxwells field equations. The first to note this 'spin' phenomenon was Ernst Mach who termed such a characteristic 'turning tendencies'; in 1885, he wrote:
For example, people have the ‘tendency’ to drive on the right side of the road—north of the equator [ex. America], and on the left side of the road—south of the equator [ex. Australia]. Or, if you get lost in the woods and try to walk in a straight line—you will strangely return to your starting point, because in reality, you have walked in a circle, owing to the influence of the earth’s magnetic field. Better yet, if you track your patterns of movement at work, over the course of a day—you will actually see typically that you tend to feel comfortable moving counter-clockwise (if you are right-handed) and clockwise (if you are left-handed) north of the equator, and visa-versa if you work south of the equator. Other examples are shown below [13]:
"learned from a retired army officer that on dark nights or in snow-storms...troops will move approximately in a circle...so that they almost return to their point of departure, though all the time they are under the impression that they are moving forward."
Human Thermodynamicist: a scientist who works to apply thermodynamics to human life processes.
Notes
Fact: the first use of the term "human thermodynamics" was that made by Charles Galton Darwin in his 1952 book The Next Million Years, pg. 28, where he states: "I am going to try to see what some of these laws of human thermodynamics are; of course they cannot be expected to have the hard outline of the laws of ..."
The human molecule, from a chemical point of view, is a molecular-structure 'forced' to be cyclically-animated via photon input (sunlight) over the substrate surface 'earth'. The human molecule is bonded vertically (to the earth) owing to the gravitational force and bonded horizontally (to each other) owing to the electromagnetic force.
The human molecule can be thought of as the definition of the human organism when viewed in terms of the specific location and exact interrelational structure of the protons, neutrons, electrons, and photons that make up its framed-constituency. The human molecule is spatially-defined according to its molecular orbital shape or movement patterns, over the surface of the earth, wherein 90% of its existence is predictably found; being rotationally-defined according to a characteristic human molecular spin.
Human Chemical Bond: an electromagnetic attachment between two or more human molecules. These attachments, in qualitative terms, are defined in terms of balanced ratios of attractive to repulsive sensory exchanges, distinguished by physical and mental components.
Notes
Fact: The first theoretical book written on "human chemistry" was Goethe's 1809 novella Elective Affinities.
Fact: The first actual book titled "human chemistry" was William Armstrong Fairburn's 1914 Human Chemistry.
Fact: The second actual book titled "human chemistry" is Libb Thims' 2007 Human Chemistry.
This, of course, was followed by the work of German physicist Rudolf Clausius with his 1865 Mechanical Theory of Heatand development of the concept of entropy as embodied in the second law of thermodynamics. People have been trying to understand human life through the laws of energy and entropy ever since.
1. There is at present in the material world a universal tendency to the dissipation of mechanical energy.
2. Any restoration of mechanical energy, without more than an equivalent of dissipation, is impossible in inanimate material processes, and is probably never effected by means of organized matter, either endowed with vegetable life or subject to the will of an animated creature.
