[James Prescott Joule @JPJoule]

I am extremely honored to receive the Copley Award for my experimental research on the dynamical theories of heat.

[James Prescott Joule @JPJoule]

The Law of the Conservation of Energy can be used to dictate the change of energy in specific systems.

[James Prescott Joule @JPJoule]

This was developed with the aid of Émilie du Châtelet (circa. Early eighteenth century), Germain Heiss in 1840, and Julius Robert von Mayer in 1842, among others. This could not be possible without them.

The Law of the Conservation of Energy, or the First Law of Thermodynamics, can be represented by this formula: Change in U = Q - W Change in U is the change of energy within a closed system.

[James Prescott Joule @JPJoule]

Here it is: The Law of the Conservation of Energy. This law states that the total energy of an isolated system is always the same. Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Currently formulating a theory on energy within a system… More to come.
