Why has the First Law of Thermodynamics been accepted as a universal law?
Neozelandes
Several reasons:
- It sort of makes sense that you can't get something out of nothing. Expecting to get energy out of nothing is like pouring one liter of water into a jar, and expecting to get two liters out of it.
- It agrees with observation. So far, no exception has been found.
- It follows from Noether's Theorem. According to this theorem, the Law of Conservation of Energy is directly related to the fact that the laws of nature don't change over time. (Don't ask me for the details - this is some advanced math.) The fact that the laws of nature are the same today as they were yesterday agrees both with common sense, and with observations.
- Violating the Law of Conservation of Energy would conflict with several other laws that are equally well-accepted; for example, with the Law of Conservation of Momentum, and the Law of Conservation of Mass.

Why is the second law of thermodynamics important?
It is important, because from been useful it converts to a less useful form.
How perpetual motion device can break the first and second law of the thermodynamics?
It can't. That's the simplest way to explain why no successful perpetual motion machine has ever been built. --------------------------------------------------------------- Another contributor persisted: well it's just a matter of time and life!
Distinguish between the first and second laws of thermodynamics in terms of whether or not exceptions occur?
Neither has any known exceptions. You do have to account for the equivalence of mass and energy though to keep the 1st law consistent, i.e. E=mc² when it comes to nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
Is there a werewolf gene?

Why can't 200 kJ of thermal energy cannot be converted into 300 kJ of chemical energy?
Quite simply, that would violate the law of conservation of energy - a.k.a. the First Law of Thermodynamics. No exception has been found so far for this law. This would be like trying to get something out of nothing; the total amount of energy has been found to be constant - no exceptions.Quite simply, that would violate the law of conservation of energy - a.k.a. the First Law of Thermodynamics.

Is the arrow of time law of thermodynamics correct?
Yes - it is correct. That is why a violation of the 2nd law has never been observed.
