    Riddle
In summary, a person saw an equation written on the back windshield of a car and was curious about its meaning. They received help from someone who identified it as Clausius' theorem in thermodynamics, a concept related to entropy. It is possible that the equation was chosen as a statement of the car owner's pride in their vehicle.

Equation written on a car--Is it a riddle?

I hope this is the right place to post this question. I saw this equation on a car's back windshield. I don't know what it means, but I'm really curious why someone would put it on their car. Is it a riddle of some kind? A famous equation?
