For Tom who noted:
H(Eigenfunction) = E(Eigenfunction) were Eigenfunction is the Greek character that looks like a glockenspiel.
Electron levels become s, p, d & f.
Energy levels become plain integers - 0, 1, 2 & 3 while electron spins can be plus or minus 1/2.
Depending on what text you have used, Entropy is either the second or third law of Thermodynamics (I learned it as the third law).
Entropy is always on the increase. OK, what does this mean for us?
Here are John's Two Laws, derived from Entropy:
1 - Garbage always expands to the space allocated to it.
Law 1 explains why it is so hard to clean up your room or the garage! Use it in self-defense if you get hassled by your S.O. to clean up. Everyone knows you can't repeal the laws of physics! Example: Gravity.
2 - You can clean up and even empty a room, but a week later, there will be stuff in it (probably not organized, either).
Law 2 explains why it seems futile to clean up. The best way to clean up is to move to a new, empty house!
Armed with this simple and basic knowledge, you can find excuses for almost any 'honey do' lists, and therefore, have more time for riding your Wing!
I hope this information was useful!

It has been a l-o-n-g time since Physical Chemistry in college, but Thermodynamics was one of the toughest courses I took. After all the advanced calculus, everything boils down to:When a system's energy is defined as the sum of its "useful" energy, (e.g. that used to push a piston), and its "useless energy", i.e. that energy which cannot be used for external work, then entropy may be (most concretely) visualized as the "scrap" or "useless" energy
