In fact, this gut instinct is reflected in one of the most fundamental laws of physics, the second law of thermodynamics, or the law of entropy.

(That s a consequence of the first law of thermodynamics energy is always conserved.)

A heat engine can never have perfect efficiency, according to the second law of thermodynamics, therefore a heat engine will always produce a surplus of low temperature heat.

This is a crucially important insight because it helps us explain the second law of thermodynamics the law that says that entropy increases in the universe, or in some isolated bit of the universe.

This is obvious to a modern analysis based on the second law of thermodynamics but in the 18th and 19th centuries, the fate of the lost energy was still unknown.
