The 2nd Law will
crumble soon.
I'm not sure that hydrinos violate this. After all, it took
energy to put that electron in it's "ground state" orbit.
Yes this statement does include a healthy dose of "poetic license"
... as all that will "really" happen, when the dust settles
(majority rules), is that the 'Law' will be 'reinterpreted' to
include a 'larger' system than before. This already happened once
when nuclear energy came along. The problem with ZPE is that the
'outside' sytsem is "interdimensional," so in effect this does
turns the 2nd Law into little more than semantic mush, even more
so than presently. I know that there are those who say LENR is
really nuclear, so there is 'no' violation anyway.
I say that even if LENR involves a nuclear reaction, even a
non-standard nuclear reaction, that it can also have a ZPE input
(the part which is the 'outside' system) and consequently even
low-energy-nuclear goes flat-up against the original intent of the
2nd Law.

Whilst on the subject of semantics in law&order... (may
Lenny/Jerry rest-in-peace)...
GBS sez - When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport:
when the tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity. The
distinction between Crime and Justice is no greater.
....not to mention the ever-popular insight which applies to
physics equally with L&O:
Obedience simulates subordination [and murders creativity] as fear
of the police simulates honesty.
-George Bernard Shaw
