I think it's fair to say that the second law is purely statistical. It is not an unbreakable law, it's a way to make predictions. The more complex the system, the more reliable the prediction, but the systems that thermodynamics are applied to are so spectacularly complex that the predictions are essentially completely reliable. Good thing too-- our lives depend on that constantly.Acala said:I don't see how this could be considered anything other than statistical, though I am certainly no expert.
