If an effect is deemed paranormal that means established physics
cannot furnish an adequate explanation of the effect.

Yes, and Randi includes violation of Newton's laws as one of his
examples of acceptable paranormal challenges. By extension, an
apparent violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics or an apparent
chemical transmutation would meet JREF definition of paranormal events.
Of course, there's a Catch-22 here. Once CF is accepted and explained,
the definition of "established physics" changes. ;-)
