Elon Musk's 'Carnot Efficiency' Baffles Fans-- Here's Why It's Important in the Universe

Elon Musk is one of the jolliest tech CEOs in the industry. He is also really active on Twitter as he always shares his thoughts and answers his fans' questions in the comment sections.

And now, Elon Musk confuses his fans again after he posted a question using a very unfamiliar term.

This simply means that Carnot efficiency is the optimal amount of heat that can turn into useful work. This heat energy specifically comes from a heat engine that runs between two temperatures.

Aside from these theories, other Twitter fans of Elon Musk also said their own explanation regarding the meaning of Carnot efficiency.

Another fan said that the Carnot efficiency of the universe is 0.99. Why? Because the Big Bang had a temperature estimated at 1,000 trillion degrees C, while the universe sits at 2.73 K during the speculated explosion.
