I finished Einstein’s Fridge. If you love math, science, knowing how things work, history, or nature conservation – this is a great read. If you don't like any of those topics, there are still something inside for you too.
If this video series on TikTok called the Trillion Dollar Equation is interesting to you, you will love Einstein’s Fridge: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS6cTFSg5/
Are you into technology? It’s embarrassing to admit this in hindsight, but I never thought heat had anything to do with computers, wireless communication, or telephone communication. Sure, I knew heat is energy, and I still never connected energy to those concepts. Heat and energy in computers play a crucial role in how our devices function, and understanding heat energy in technology helps us appreciate the balance between innovation and efficiency.
For the conservationists, almost since computer technology was discovered, the negative global impact of the increased heat it generates – was known. The environmental impact of technology is significant. While nothing was done then, we are now seeing the compound effect of ignoring the warnings. This serves as a lesson to be more proactive about combating the negative environmental effects of new technology. Technology’s environmental footprint is something we must consider—can we contain or reverse the plastic pileup and microplastic contamination we are currently living in? Can we clean the oceans before the fish all die from contamination caused by our trash? Technology assisting in conservation efforts could be the key to solving these pressing issues.
This next part is for those who don't care about anything written above. If you are still reading, thanks for getting this far about something you care nothing about.
This next section is for the dreamers and explorers. Some of the great minds introduced in this book died feeling deep sadness because their genius was not yet recognized. Their work changed the world! If you are doing important work, keep going. You can find contentment in your effort, consistency, and the importance you see in the topic. The opinions and interest of others only have as much power as you give them. Many greats laid groundwork that was not realized until after their death. Exploration has shaped the world. Looking for external validation can be hard on your spirit. Be encouraged—the world needs your contribution, so please keep at whatever your thing is!
Philosophers, this is for you. The themes in nature can be seen in probably every aspect of life. Life can be hard to understand sometimes, especially when you are in the middle of a situation. Take a look at nature’s laws in life for perspective. For instance, nothing is ever created or destroyed; instead, it changes forms. Energy transformation in nature is a constant process—whatever you think you lost is not gone, it has taken a different form. Get creative about getting it back. Liquid water that has become steam can be turned back into liquid water again.
Proximity is powerful. Getting close to something or staying away from something is a life hack. Hang out with people who run, and you will probably become healthier. Find a way to get closer to what you want. The “technology and nature balance” can be a metaphor for this—how we interact with our environment shapes our outcomes.
Failure is one way to look at an issue, and it’s a negative way to see it. Even when things don’t go your way, you have the power to impact generations to come. Lessons from scientific “failures” teach us that setbacks can lead to new discoveries. The “failure” could lead you to see another, more important issue. Maybe 100 years from now, someone reads about your failure and picks up the work where you left off. Science overcoming adversity has led to some of the greatest breakthroughs in history.
