Nice find, Mark, thanks for sharing


y'see, there never has been a 'Second Law of Thermodynamics'...


...just a lazy bunch of naysayers!


2LoT = "if i can't think of a way to do it, then it's impossible"

all we need do, is create a "velocity membrane", that only allows high-velocity particle to pass.
this can be reduced to a momentum equation, for particles with enough mass*velocity to penetrate the membrane.

In theory it seems much simpler than in practice, but even Maxwell himself admitted that this scenario could possibly violate the second law.

Which brings into question, are the guidelines of Thermodynamic Theory actually "laws", or are they general reference points that apply to "most systems", but not all....??

Laws are mans best guess(theories)-a guess that is made from observations of what we have seen so far. The conservation of energy-Mmm. How is it that the galaxies are speeding up in a direction that is away from the galactic center--should they not be attracted to each other due to gravitational attraction?. Where is this energy coming from that can accelerate entire galaxies?-enough energy to overcome the gravitational pull of each galaxy. If the motion of the planets in each galaxy is increasing,then the potential energy within the universe is increasing,and the only way to increase potential energy is to increase consumed energy. So the energy level within the universe is for ever increasing-->energy can be created.
