I'm not claiming that one can "cheat" thermodynamics. I'm asserting
that there are some edge cases where the "laws" no longer hold. It's
at the point where we learn to exploit those edge cases where the
"laws" of thermodynamics will no longer serve as a limiting factor.
We constantly learn that while at certain levels our laws of nature
appear to be strong laws, when you get in deep enough, they don't
necessarily hold, and there are a whole other set of "laws" that
govern behavior.
I'm just suggesting that we need to get there with regards to
thermodynamics.

I'm worthless, then.
