(34) In 1850, such limitation was affirmed by Clausius in a statement that is now regarded as an expression of the second law of thermodynamics, the principle of conservation of energy being the first one.

to drive the work; but the faster any work is accomplished, the less of the energy is used that way, because more of it is lost instead through contamination by entropy (Carnot 1824, Clausius 1851).
The cosmic bellows: the big bang and the second law
The practice of making such cosmic claims for entropy dates back to Rudolph Clausius, the physicist who originally coined the term.

This approach soon generalized to the cosmological situation, where it was shown that, by applying the Clausius relation to the apparent horizon of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe, the Friedmann equation can be rewritten in the form of the first law of thermodynamics [21].
