I made a machine for my science class last semester that rotated a wheel and my dad said "In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!" Now I know what he was referencing.
@cowherdingjoe3 Everything stops moving at 0 Kelvin, you might want to brush up on basic physics... And lots of energy travels faster than light, certain microwaves travels faster than light through certain materials for example. The greater question is why did you write yours?
If she actually built a perpetuem mobile that went faster and faster, it would creata a few paradoxes since it would have to take more and more energy from the environment close by, sooner or later it would reach 0 kelvin where all motion stop, wich would mean that the machine would stop as well... And if it's a perpetuem mobile and it's always gaining speed it would also at some point move faster than the speed of light wich would require an infinite source of energy and, my head just exploded.
@TheEgg185 The laws of thermodynamics are about different forms of energy. It doesn't matter if its heat or kinetic energy. That law basically says that you can't gain energy out of nowhere and perpetual motion machine cannot exist as it has to lose some energy some way.
@Tobiasz931 A perpetual motion machine isn't a problem for the laws of thermodynamics as long as it is 100% efficient and all energy expended is recaptured and used again. Unfortunately, we don't know how to do this yet, but if we could turn heat back into electrical energy then I don't see why this couldn't happen.
@Delosian Heat cannot be turned into any type of energy ever at 100% efficiency period. No real process can achieve 100%. So no, perpetual motion machines won't ever be possible ever.
That's a paddling jokes aren't funny, get over yourself
And with regards to the sad person who says "disliking paddling jokes...that's a paddlin"... Try and conjure something funny and get off your bandwagon

@katsumorymoto whether it exists or not is out of the question. The point of it being on the simpsons was supposed to represent two things about Lisa, one she was smart enough to make one despite the laws of thermodynamics and two she is losing her sanity because she wants to go back to school.
This is The Simpsons at its very best Funny, witty and weird!
Something's gone terribly wrong with the later episodes. I don't know what it is exactly, but it's been bombing six ways through Sunday! It's as if they don't care anymore.
It's gone from being a FOX "ride-along", to being a FOX "bitch".
Are they all trying to get the whole thing canned, because it's suddenly too much like hard work to keep going....?
@gregory06 A lot of ppl say that Simpsons were better before, but why? I didn't know anything about The Simpsons 2 years ago, then I stared to watch the show every night (that's almost 500 episodes, so that's a lot of nights ;) and I loved it from very beginning. I don't think that there was a moment when Simpsons stopped to be great. Just a little different.
@Tobiasz931 Thats true, and I think that because we know and love them from years ago that a lot of people still find them very entertaining, the simpsons are like people I know, for me; blocking them out would be impossible and quite sad, I know the simpsons used to have a lot of hilarious moments and still do, but in different ways.
Between Homer making out with himself and Marge shown having lesbian moments and Lisa saying she wants to party like p diddy and brush her teeth with jack daniels it's just not the same anymore..
It's written by a bunch of thick frame glasses wearing, macintosh using, public coffee shop writing liberal arts uni grads. In other words Douchebags.
@gunzt3rkenfu92 well I personally think that this motive with that song was quite funny. Come on, those are still our beloved Simpsons even if the old ones were better ;]
Uhhh...although I won't disagree with calling those people Douchebags, your wrong on one account: the old Simpsons were written by the same type of people. In fact they made fun of themselves because of that.
hahah, so funny. Really clever humor, brilliant .earlier 90's Simpson's humor. The one person who disliked this must be a family guy fanboy, and doesn't know the laws of thermodynamics.
@caocao16 Yup. I like Family Guy too, but I think Simpsons are the best. Also, if you aren't regular, white American you are probably going to be offended by Family Guy, which is much less likely to happen with The Simpsons.
If someone did manage to invent such a process, I have no doubt that one (or several) men representing an oil company will show up with a very large check in order to purchase it.
And guns in their pockets in case he should say 'no'.
You can't have a perpetual motion machine - at least, as far as we can deduce from science about this universe. If somebody does manage to build one however I would throw my money on it
I think the joke here is that one does not simply *choose* to "obey the laws of thermodynamics". It is not a law of man, but one of science to which all systems comply whether they like it or not. It is funny on several levels, but this is the top layer.
Rate this thumbs up if you've ever taken a Thermodynamics course.
Don't worry, Lisa. I was never any good at building stuff, like the time I built that gay car alarm. Homer's no Thomas Edison, either. His artificial kidney was just a whistle attached to a beer can. He did build thunderbat, but it didn't help much against the pro baseball players. In this house, we never lose to the Shelbyville team, and we never grow sideburns!
@cursedswordsman (form wiki) "Thermodynamics is the science of energy conversion involving heat and other forms of energy, most notably mechanical work."
From the laws of thermodynamics we know that there is no way to make perpetual motion machine, because this machine must lose some energy on such things as emission of temperature (friction would slow it down and make heat). Lisa made machine that goes faster and faster, so it gets energy from nowhere - which breaks the laws of thermodynamics.
@cursedswordsman According to the laws of thermodynamics, it is impossible to make a perpetual motion device. Though this is well known among scientists, many people don't understand this because the explanation is very complicated. Homer is a generally stupid character, so the humor derives from the surprise that he understands thermodynamics but is angered by the machine's inexplicability and scolds Lisa, rather than praising her for her earth-shattering, miraculous invention.
@Tobiasz931 Actually, it is possible (in practice) to achieve 100% efficiency and create a true perpetual motion device. Such as in a superfluid gyroscope. What's not possible is to exceed 100% efficiency as in a free energy devise or a perpetual motion device that speeds up.
@Libertarianist Um no. You're still wrong. It isn't possible whatsoever to not have any waste heat. Therefore 100% efficiency isn't possible, you can get close though!
@rrosasvette You didn't bother to research what I said. Superfluids are special, they have zero resistance to flow. Not close to zero, exactly zero. Physicists have used this phenomenon to make gyroscopes that defy conventional physics, never loosing momentum due to friction because the system exploits a truly frictionless environment.
@Tobiasz931 it isnt possible in theory. we can make something move constantly forever..(newtons first law, used to move probes extremely long distances in space) but never go faster..its simple conservation of energy. and it could never go fast enough that relativity's effects would be noticeable, but thats a different story, and finally the law of conservation of energy is really complicated its probably the easiest physical expression so stop scaring people out of physics its a beautiful thing
2. The amount of entropy (disorder) always increases. (Basically, heat only spontaneously travels to a colder atom, never warmer. Also, the use of energy will always create waste heat.)
3. Nothing can ever reach absolute zero. (Due to 2, if something got close to 0º K, the thermal energy from the object's surroundings will enter the said object.)
This might just be a living testament to how Homer really did become dumber and dumber as the seasons went on; he knew the laws of thermodynamics, now he doesn't know the laws of anything, period.
@DimensionsofChange well, eventually it would go so fast that reletivity effects would apply and very wierd stuff would happen, but I guess it needs some more time to do that. xD
@DimensionsofChange mass is constant in all reference frames. the four-momentum boils down to P=M. the P(t) part does have a m and a velocity, but that doesn't imply mass gets super big, it's simply a constant, it just means relativistic equations aren't built for stuff going speed of light.
@lifeofbob I meant to upload part where Homer speaks about obeying the laws of thermodynamics and there is important context that I added. There was also funny part about Bart, but thats not the part of that particular thing. And if you mean that the end is cutted to early - its youtube's fault. Verssion I uploaded was ok. Also if you use 480p resolution it will be ok.
@thomassu1697 Wiki says: "Thermodynamics is the science of energy conversion involving heat and other forms of energy, most notably mechanical work. It studies and interrelates the macroscopic variables, such as temperature, volume and pressure, which describe physical, thermodynamic systems."
BTW one of the laws of thermodynamics is that perpetual motion machine cannot exist.
You should have learned about it in school, how old are you?
@thomassu1697 Thats ok then. Do you have some abnormal abilities like very fast counting or reading 2 things at once? I always wondered whats it like to be autistic. Tell me about it :P
@checksummedchest On this site we obey the laws of thermodynamics, so I dont believe in any secret, awesome way to make energy, unless you show us how to make fusion-reactors out of water, tape and box of matches. Although I'll check what is it all about, when I have some more free time...
@Tobiasz931 You're right, it isn’t possible to make perpetual machine of any kind, but energy generation at low cost with almost infinite duration is possible.
As you suggested yourself, fusion-reactors will generate more than enough energy to power the earth in several million years.
Solar cells can generate lower amounts of energy, but in seemingly infinite time to human since the limitation is the life-time of the sun.
But why are these method not used more or getting researched proper?
@TheHarboe I seen some program on Discovery about fusion reactors and from that source I know that there already is fusion-reactor in UK, but it needs more energy to work than it makes. You need to create very high temperature (like 6000000 degrees). For example hydrogen bomb needs atomic bomb to blow up first to allow thermonuclear reaction to occur. Maybe in future fusion-reactors will be effective and we will use it for cars, heating and stuff, and we wont need coal and oil anymore...
Comedy at it's finest, I guess the joke is that he knows that a perpetual motion machine is impossible due to the conservation of energy. Some how Homer knows this, lol
I made a machine for my science class last semester that rotated a wheel and my dad said "In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!" Now I know what he was referencing.

@jesuswasdarwin yeah but what about friction and centripetal force and gravity and that other crap my high school physics teacher told us about

The only problem with this is that it's edited to tightly. You know the heart of comedy don't you?...
lifeofbob 1 year ago
@lifeofbob I meant to upload part where Homer speaks about obeying the laws of thermodynamics and there is important context that I added. There was also funny part about Bart, but thats not the part of that particular thing. And if you mean that the end is cutted to early - its youtube's fault. Verssion I uploaded was ok. Also if you use 480p resolution it will be ok.

@Tobiasz931 please tell me what thermodynamics
actualy is
thomassu1697 1 year ago
@thomassu1697 Wiki says: "Thermodynamics is the science of energy conversion involving heat and other forms of energy, most notably mechanical work. It studies and interrelates the macroscopic variables, such as temperature, volume and pressure, which describe physical, thermodynamic systems."
BTW one of the laws of thermodynamics is that perpetual motion machine cannot exist.
You should have learned about it in school, how old are you?

@thomassu1697 Thats ok then. Do you have some abnormal abilities like very fast counting or reading 2 things at once? I always wondered whats it like to be autistic. Tell me about it :P

He makes After Effects tutorials and he posted link to this video on his site. It was a joke involving prepetual motion machine.

The Oil companies are trying their best to stop free energy ideas from spreading to common people.
We need to put an end to this corruption ,start generating your own electricity now.

@checksummedchest On this site we obey the laws of thermodynamics, so I dont believe in any secret, awesome way to make energy, unless you show us how to make fusion-reactors out of water, tape and box of matches. Although I'll check what is it all about, when I have some more free time...
Tobiasz931 1 year ago
@Tobiasz931 You're right, it isn’t possible to make perpetual machine of any kind, but energy generation at low cost with almost infinite duration is possible.
As you suggested yourself, fusion-reactors will generate more than enough energy to power the earth in several million years.
Solar cells can generate lower amounts of energy, but in seemingly infinite time to human since the limitation is the life-time of the sun.
But why are these method not used more or getting researched proper?
TheHarboe 1 year ago
@TheHarboe I seen some program on Discovery about fusion reactors and from that source I know that there already is fusion-reactor in UK, but it needs more energy to work than it makes. You need to create very high temperature (like 6000000 degrees). For example hydrogen bomb needs atomic bomb to blow up first to allow thermonuclear reaction to occur. Maybe in future fusion-reactors will be effective and we will use it for cars, heating and stuff, and we wont need coal and oil anymore...

I love how Homer knows what thermodynamics are, but yet he is not impressed with the fact his daughter made a perpetual motion machine.
fluffybunny937 1 year ago 164
@fluffybunny937
Comedy at it's finest, I guess the joke is that he knows that a perpetual motion machine is impossible due to the conservation of energy. Some how Homer knows this, lol

@rushtallica33 lol, its hard to use it in any other situation than talking about perpetual motion machine. Lets see:
- aaaa! This soup is 1000 degrees Celsius hot!
- It can't be that hot, because "In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"
It's not good enough, is it?
