Phys. Rev. E 88, 032125 - Published 18 September 2013: "It is shown that a standard principle of traditional catalysis - that a catalyst does not alter the final thermodynamic equilibrium of a reaction - can fail in low-pressure, heterogeneous gas-surface reactions." http://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract...RevE.88.032125

This, if true, marks the end of the second law of thermodynamics. No reaction at all from the scientific community.

When it comes to questioning the second law of thermodynamics, the crimestop is even more absolute than when Einstein's 1905 false constant-speed-of-light postulate is questioned. Scientists feel that they may somehow survive without "spacetime", but life without "entropy" seems absolutely impossible to them:

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 equations - then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation - well, 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."
