Entropy and Enthalpy

Finally, a picture! No, quit laughing -- I'm not exactly good with a camera. Took an entire dratted roll of film and this was the best... sigh. Enthalpy is on the right, Entropy on the left. Let's see if this'll work...

Gorgeous snakes. Thanks for the pic. I love the flowering tree background, very natural set up for the snakes.

Love the picture, so pretty and the snake's seem to be enjoying it too.

very pretty picture and great snakes!
Thanks!

Very pretty pic. Thanks for sharing.

lol I didn't see the snakes at first so I was like...nice...tree...but then I saw the strangely curving and orangey branches and I was like...oh! those are snakes! I'm so slow

but like everyone else already said, it's a great pic with the flowers and everything and of course the beautiful snakes. What made you choose those names? I looked them up in the dictionary but I don't really get it...a little to hard for me to grasp.

The Page of Entropy

I'd advise reading it at least twice. I always do.

just wow, nothing else... i'll be returning to that page again. thanks serp!!!! nice name, by the way, ts.

Thanks you all very much. Wish I was better with a camera.

The really short story is that Entropy is the thermodynamic word for chaos, just like Serp's most excellent site suggestion says. Enthalpy is a measure of the chaos (heat) of a confined system. So... pretty much their names are "Chaos" and "Tempest in a teapot." Which are very big names for very small snakes. (Especially for Enthalpy. You can even see in the picture -- her head is kind of translucent. This is because she has no brains. Which is fine, since she *still* did better on my last exam than I did. Sigh. ;) But I liked the sound of the names.

I'm still a little worried that Entropy will eat Enthalpy, thus resulting in a thermodynamic impossibility and a meltdown of the structure of the universe... hehe. (Err, actually, that wasn't particularly funny, after all. Ignore me.)

Thanks again,
