Surface energy quantifies the disruption of chemical bonds that occurs when a surface is created. In the physics of solids, surfaces must be intrinsically less energetically favourable than the bulk of a material; otherwise there would be a driving force for surfaces to be created, and surface is all there would be"
Beta-Aether Overpressure Flat Space, Frank? :-)
"If the cutting is done reversibly (see reversible), then conservation of energy means that the energy consumed by the cutting process will be equal to the energy inherent in the two new surfaces created."
Good.
How much energy does it take to "atomize" a cubic centimeter
of water down to 1.0 micron diameter spheres?
How much "Free Energy" comes from the spread of a milliliter
(1.0E-6 cubic meter) of water over a 2,000 square meter Water-Metal
or Water-Metal Oxide Interface?
