In any case you're not the first one to challenge the 2nd law, some famous names have tried before you it seems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics
If I was you I would study their work in depth, if only to make sure I don't duplicate it. E.g. have you looked into Feynman's brownian ratchet thought experiment BTW, and if so have you understood why it couldn't work according to him? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_ratchet Michel ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <vortex-l@eskimo.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 2:05 AM Subject: Re: [Vo]: Quantum Thermodynamics > Michel Jullian wrote: > --- > > Ok I remember you mentioned something of the sort now.
