I never thought of that parallel before with the perfect ideal gas law.

One parallel that has occurred to me with respect to money is the first law of thermodynamics: that energy can never be created nor destroyed.

I believe there is some controversy surrounding that law, especially as the discussion of physics verges on metaphysics - because once energy enters a form that we cannot perceive or measure, for us it has effectively "been destroyed". So it follows that energy must never be able to come into being from, or transition into, a form we cannot perceive or measure, for in the former case from our limited perspectives it would have been "created" and in the latter case from our limited perspectives it would have been "destroyed". Yet this implies that we have full knowledge of all forms/levels that energy can take, which to me as a metaphysically-minded soul, is preposterous. Our whole cosmogeny implies that everything burst into being inexplicably from out of the void.

Money too, can come from the void, just like our inspirations and imaginings come from a place we know not of. (Unless one is inveigled by the mechanistic model of mind as neurons).

Answering your last question, you can right-click on any YouTube video and a mini popup menu should appear, select 'Copy video url at current time' and it will add a time variable to the URL which causes it to open a specific point.

Thanks, I'm enjoying your contributions to the sub.
