The heat death paradox, also known as thermodynamic paradox, Clausius' paradox, and Kelvin's paradox, is a reductio ad absurdum argument that uses thermodynamics...

exposure to cold weather and cold water immersion. It may also occur from any condition that decreases heat production or increases heat loss. Commonly...

moving heat from the interior being cooled (the heat source) to the outdoors (the heat sink). Similarly, a refrigerator moves heat from inside the cold icebox...

thermodynamics) and extrapolated it to larger processes on a universal scale. This also allowed Kelvin to formulate the heat death paradox, which disproves...
