Summary

This page appears to be an excerpt from a scientific manuscript or academic text discussing the history and definition of thermodynamics and entropy. It details the contributions of William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), Rudolph Clausius, and Sadi Carnot to the field, specifically focusing on the definition of entropy in relation to energy conservation and heat engines. While the text is purely scientific, the 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp indicates it was gathered as evidence in a congressional investigation, likely related to Jeffrey Epstein's connections to the scientific community or funding of scientific projects.
