LOL!
So they only consider their system for 1/10 of a second. This hardly proves that entropy was decreasing!
I suppose these fools are the same ones who believe in the "synchronous theory" (ie. the opposite to the chaos theory) whereby all things attempt to find a syncronous harmony.
These people seriously need to take a few stats courses.
Going back to the decreasing entropy issue ... a system that appears to (and this is key) _spontaneously_ decrease in entropy has always been a possibility .. the important consideration is that with time, the system will achieve a higher entropy.
Let's consider another problem - how are they defining entropy? Let's first consider that these twits are conducting the experiment in water (think hydrogen bonds, Brownian motion, heat in the system) If decreasing entropy (increasing in order) ocurrs .. perhaps van der Waal might have something to say about forces of attraction. Let's ignore the fact that as a laser passes through water, it will impart energy into the system, changing the experiment entirely (think kinetics, think charged bodies attracting non-charged).
This whole experiment is retarded. The experimenters should go back to testing whether hot water freezes faster than cold.
