→The Uncertainty principle doesn't invalidate Perpetual motion...
::::::::::I agree that narrow interpretations of the Second Law are, well, limited in what they conclude. But a full view of the meaning of the Second Law does recognize that quantum uncertainty underlies it. Quantum uncertainty does have a time-asymmetry to it ... just as attempts at a perpetual motion machine do.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:33, 5 May 2012 (EDT)

::::::::::Interesting; as I said before, if you indeed can demonstrate this, and were subsequently denied a Nobel prize for it, I may accept your opinion that the committee is biased against those with a conservative viewpoint. Please point me to a derivation / demonstration of the uncertainty principle (other than those I have come across in my career, which are based on the Fourier transform of a wavepacket, for example, and which are not inherently time asymmetric) to back up your claim. Alternatively, please point me towards evidence that all current holders of the Nobel prize are liberals. [[User:DanPW]]
