The hypothetical physics of heat, energy, and work operating in reverse temporal direction. In retrothermodynamics, heat would flow spontaneously from cold objects to hot ones, friction would accelerate objects instead of slowing them down, and engines would run by absorbing exhaust fumes and fuel while outputting work and air. It's what you'd get if you took a video of normal thermodynamic processes and played it backward—a universe where every energy transaction is perfectly reversed, and the arrow of thermal time points the other way.
Retrothermodynamics (Physics) Example: "The movie scene where a character's breath unfreezes and returns to their mouth is a charming moment of cinematic retrothermodynamics."

This likelihood heightens during the summer months when festivals are rampant.

Get the weekend reporter mug.Trip Reporting is a silly pastime typed up by fat, un-original, inane people that travel a lot but don't actually do anything interesting. They then write about what they did (the irony) which is nothing... then post photos which only consist of food on the plane, at the hotel and at airport lounges. Some may post shots of the menus for good measure.
Very intrepid.
They are also tight-arsed as well since they seem to only want to use miles they accumulate while flying very short distances more frequently in order to pay for their long haul trips rather than hard earned money. You'd think by doing this they would actually have some cash to spend on doing something more meaningful and worthwhile ie. sightseeing, hiking, cultures etc...
This isn't the case.
Trip reports really should be called Service/Food reports.
