A paradox involving the second law of thermodynamics
- Department of Physics, University of San Diego, San Diego, California 92110 (United States)
A simple paradox is posed that appears to challenge the second law of thermodynamics in a blackbody plasma environment. Laboratory experiments approximating salient aspects of this system fail to resolve the paradox. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
