For example, on hot sunny days, the façade can provide shade and turn a lighter colour to reflect heat from the sun, thereby reducing the energy required for cooling. Professor Jennifer Franck is creating a device to harness the immense power of ocean tides and transform this into a sustainable electricity supply.

About 12,000 years ago, water cascaded from newly melted ice, forming what we know as the Niagara Falls. Today, the Falls have a striking green color because of the erosive power of water.

How Did We Get Here? But it is only now—with ideas that have emerged from our Physics Project —that I think I can pull all the pieces together and finally be able to construct a proper framework to explain why—and to what extent—the Second Law is true. This is part 1 in a 3-part series about the Second Law: 1.
