> The second law of thermodynamics is as fundamental as the uncertainty principle: The former is a result from markov chains and information theory, the latter is a result from fourier analysis of conjugate variables. I don't think enumerating the pedigree of a law gives it the seal of approval of validity. Newtonian physics also has pretty solid pedigree, and yet breaks down in relativistic conditions. Please note I do not disagree with your conclusion, only with the way you present it.
