This statement is absolute C##P !!!
A high school physics/chemistry student could shoot this claim of yours to pieces.
You need to go & get an education about thermodynamics !!!

Time to stop throwing in old wives tales to a discussion that is clearly well above the level of technical competence of many.

If you wish to understand things I would recommend;

Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
by Smith & Van Ness

& Chemical Engineering Kinetics
By Smith

If you have a strong enough back ground in Maths, you will understand them.
Best not throw in some half baked idea with no proper technical justification.
