The First Air Conditioner and the First and Second Law of Thermodynamics

Other (Not Listed) Instructions:

1. Cornelius Drebbel didn't get full credit for inventing the first air conditioner in 1620, and is almost lost to history entirely! You've learned about the history of the air conditioner and the thermodynamic ideas behind how air conditioning works; do you think history would be very different if Drebbel had written up his ideas about air conditioning? Answer this using both your own thoughts AND knowledge of thermodynamics/history from your readings and videos.
2. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Your job is to state this in a different way that makes a strong connection with a non-scientific audience. Please keep this to the length of a tweet - 280 characters or fewer! NOT 280 WORDS. 280 characters. You can use https://wordcounter(dot)net/character-countto check your character count.

The following are reasons for holding this position. First, when something is invented, other players come into play, significantly shifting the focus from the inventor. For instance, today, numerous players produce air conditioners. Secondly, the continuous improvement of inventions shifts the focus from the inventor to other entities. For example, while many may not know who invented the phone, most know the current major producers of phones. Thirdly, very few people study history. Therefore, history would not h...
