You must not operate under the assumption that everyone else is dumb like you.

Apart from the spelling DISabilities caused by the malfunctioning left occipito-temporal region of your brain, the time has come for you to get additional areas of your brain thoroughly inspected by a competent specialist at NIMHANS.

Err.. If I ask.. what's occipito and what the hell is a competent specialist and where the hell is NIMHANS.. it's just going to reiterate your belief that me is dumb.. right?!

NIMHANS is where the geniuses of society are sent because people just fail to comprehend them.

You know what they say? The line between sanity and insanity is very thin, it seems.

Did you read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest? Or watch the movie?

Occipito: Pata nahin, yaar. I was googling something, and the term came up. Mujhe yeh buri aadat hai, Google se C&P marne ki. If you have any questions, aap bhi Google se pooch lena.

PS: My Hindi grammar is not exactly world-class. If I make mistakes, please feel free to correct them, but be gentle, won't you?

As a result, the net amount of *available* energy (that which can be converted to useful work) is constantly diminishing in the universe. When there is no net amount of available energy left in the universe, the universe will be *dead*.

so you are saying that "the total amount of energy in the universe is constant" is a false statement?
that energy is used to perform work, is an old age known phenomenon. the law of conservation of energy was framed much later. how can it miss this basic funda and be wrongly framed?

The sum total of all energy (and mass) of the universe is always zero.

Total amount of energy in universe is constant....but according to 2nd law of thermodynamics, energy available for converting to useful work is diminishing as we speak and continues to diminish due to production of entropy
