DESCRIPTION:Five years ago I attempted to talk about a somewhat new approa
 ch to thermodynamics at an SMF seminar. This seminar is aimed are presenti
 ng ‘round 2’ where hopefully some of the key arguments are clarified. 
 Given thermodynamics is based on the quantum mechanical behaviour of the w
 orld\, one ends up looking at the fundamental principles of QM for ‘the 
 reason why’\, and this seminar proposes a way of approaching the basis o
 f QM that just starts from the notion that there are waves that obey linea
 r superposition and that there is a time development operator.\n\nJoin on
