Einstein himself acknowledged that he consciously modeled the formal
structure of special relativity on thermodynamics. He wrote in his
autobiographical notes: "Gradually I despaired of the possibility of
discovering the true laws by means of constructive efforts based on
known facts. The longer and the more desperately I tried, the more I
came to the conviction that only the discovery of a universal formal
principle could lead us to assured results. The example I saw before
me was thermodynamics. The general principle was there given in the
proposition: The laws of nature are such that it is impossible to
construct a perpetuum mobile (of the first and second kinds)."
