Hi:

Is it hypothetically possible to successfully perform an activity that
violates the second law of thermodynamics?

Lets says I have a supernatural device that can stop the second law from
existing anymore simply by pushing a button on it. What will the
universe be like after I push the button?


Hey Radium! Watch TV and you learn something!
Of course what you refer to is the proverbial "Easy button". A viewing
of any Staples "easy button" advertisement will quickly show you what
the world would be like.

What would happen if after switching the 'second law of thermodynamics'
*OFF*, just for fun, you reswitched it *ON*.
