For over a century it has been assumed to be inviolable by the scientific community. Over the last 10-20 years, however, more than two dozen challenges to it have appeared in the physical literature - more than during any other period in its 150-year history. The number and variety of these represent a cogent threat to its absolute status. This is the first book to document and critique these modern challenges. Written by two leading exponents of this rapidly emerging field, it covers the theoretical and experimental aspects of principal challenges. In addition, unresolved foundational issues concerning entropy and the second law are explored. This book should be of interest to anyone whose work or research is touched by the second law. 0aPHYSICS. 0aSCIENCExPHILOSOPHY. 0aSTATISTICAL PHYSICS. 0aQUANTUM OPTICS.14aPHYSICS.24aPHYSICS, GENERAL.24aPHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE.24aSTATISTICAL PHYSICS.24aQUANTUM OPTICS, QUANTUM ELECTRONICS, NONLINEAR OPTICS.1 aSheehan, Daniel P.eauthor.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9781402030154 0aFundamental Theories of Physics, An International Book Series on The Fundamental Theories of Physics: Their Clarification, Development and Application ;v14640uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-3016-9zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
