The one who holds the truth is the one whose opinion is supported by the weight of empirical evidence.
Since everything in the physical universe obeys the laws of thermodynamics, of course they do, too.
Hmm, let's see, what is more plausible?
1. Several hundred years of science consisting of millions of consistent, empirical observations
2. Three anecdotal accounts
Bigfoot has three anecdotal accounts in a slow month. As I have said before, if someone has found a way to invalidate the laws of thermodynamics, it would shake the very foundations of science and that person would go down in history as one of the greatest scientists of all time. That is why I therefore urge you to publish your findings, because you will surely win a Nobel Prize and collect megabux. Then, you should use your findings to invent a perpetual motion machine. Have you wondered why no one has done so yet?

As if the source of information somehow invalidated it. Please, don't be mad because your attempt at sarcasm failed. Oh, I forgot, welcome to the forums.

I didn't say anything about the source. I am commenting on your lack of training. Some of us have actually been tested in these matters and found competent. We don't have to run for a dictionary when someone says "enthalpy", "joule", or "coefficient of static friction".
Here is my standard cut-through-the-crap question:
What evidence would prove your belief wrong? Note that I am assuming the burden of proof.
