PHILOSOPHERS (trying to free the world from the law of entropy
increase, the number one killer of scientific rationality):

JOS UFFINK: "This summary leads to the question whether it is fruitful
to see irreversibility or time-asymmetry as the essence of the second
law. Is it not more straightforward, in view of the unargued
statements of Kelvin, the bold claims of Clausius and the strained
attempts of Planck, to give up this idea? I believe that Ehrenfest-
Afanassjewa was right in her verdict that the discussion about the
arrow of time as expressed in the second law of the thermodynamics is
actually a RED HERRING."

PHYSICISTS (calling the world's attention to the sad fate of anyone
questioning the law of entropy increase, the number one killer of
scientific rationality):

ARTHUR EDDINGTON: "The law that entropy always increases, holds, I
think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone
points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in
disagreement with Maxwell's equationsthen so much the worse for
Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by
observationwell, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes.
But if your theory is found to be against the second law of
thermodynamics, I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to
collapse in deepest humiliation."
