What we have termed scientific "law" is constantly being challenged. New information can't be forced to comply with what we have supposed to be universal rules. The "law" of gravity has little or no application on the quantum level. If the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics loses meaning on a sub-atomic scale, what of it? We can only make deductions based on observable phenomena, and make assumptions on how they apply to the unobservable. If those assumptions are wrong, get over it!
