Hi Charlie, There should be no 2LoT supporters or deniers in science, only people who think and are capable of admitting they may be wrong occasionally. What you and Paul say is true, at molecular scales there are indeed thermal gradients, bouncing basketballs as Paul calls them. I'll ask you the same question I asked him, have you done a comprehensive study of the 'Brownian ratchet' vs 'Brownian motor' question M. Brown? A quick Google search shows contradictory informations as to whether they work or not, the general idea being that Brownian ratchets can't work whereas Brownian motors can, and do. Do you have more info on this? -- Michel
