Default Is it at all possible -- at least in theory -- to violate the second law?

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?


It will be the same as the universe actually is.
The one that says you can't violate the second law,
simply because the first law of thermodynamics
says you can't.
But, since the first law has already been violated
to many times to enumerate, that's why they
invented stastical mechancis.
Which states that you can't violate the fine-structure-constant,
merely because mathematicians are string ignorami.





Thanks,

Radium
