Re: CONSERVATION OF ENERGY



I will stop asking you for comments, as you wish. A formulation very similar
to one you described can be found in many textbooks and the whole point of
this thread was to convince people that dU=Q+W should not be described as
you quoted. I think that some progress was made in that direction. And would
not consider this to be a waste of my time if the subject comes up again. We
are not a mutual admiration society. Telling honestly what we think and not
being embarrassed by errors we make are important components on this list.

I ment to say "as you sorcastically quoted" in the second line. I am also
sorry about the outcome.
