The Second Law of Thermodynamics stipulates that the heat transfer between
masses is a function of their temperature differential. The higher the
temperature differential, the faster the heat loss. If two bodies have the
no temperature differential, when they have the same temperature, no
temperature loss can take place.

Therefore, if you turn the heat down at night, you lower the temperature
differential and thus, the heat loss.

This law of physics is also known as Entropy, probably the most basic of all
laws of nature.


Um... yup. However there might be other factors, such as efficiency vs.
run time of the heating unit, humidity changes, or other factors that
would require other Stipulations. Occasionally, two-syllable factors
will upset, for instance, the Stipulations Of The Second Law. Entropy, huh?
