...Arthur Eddington regarded it as occupying the supreme position among the laws of nature. He once wrote, "if your theory is found to be against the second...there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation."2 It is easy to find everyday examples of the second law at work, cases where order surrenders...

Invoking this universal applicability of the second law in 1854, German physicist von Helmholtz envisaged...

Eddington (1882-1944), the eminent British astronomer and physicist, has said, 'If your theory is found to be against the second...nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.'
