Features a two-pronged message: first, that the Second Law of Thermodynamics is not "infinitely incomprehensible" as commonly stated in textbooks of thermodynamics but can be comprehended through common sense; and second, that entropy is not a mysterious quantity that has "resisted understanding" but a familiar and easily comprehensible concept.
