Yes. The law you are referring to is the First Law of Thermodynamics. When Greta mentions "thermodynamics" she is referring to it and to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, relating to the entropy of system where energy can be created spontaneously from nothing.
They are both correct, but Greta was alluding to something more specific than "laws of physics" in general.
Someone like her, who very openly and wholeheartedly cares about scientific research and the advancement of mankind, would be very specifically fixated on the potential of the hotel to break the laws of thermodynamics. I don't want to spell everything out but the use of "thermodynamics" was very purposeful at that point. Think like an engineer and ask yourself what you'd do if you had access to this space where you can break the laws of thermodynamics, and you just established that both matter and information can be sent to and from it.
yes, i caught up on that. writing is deliberate, the use of a more specific term like thermodynamics is indictative that the accuracy of the phrasing is important, even if physics would do just fine. my intention here was to tell the op that they are not wrong, but they are not right. no one likes being corrected, so i figured to deliberately write a response that doesn't dismiss what they thought as improper.
