This
experiment consists of a cylinder with an inner and outer chamber. The
outer chamber is filled with glycerin, while the inner chamber is filled
with water. When flourescent dye is placed in the outer chamber filled
with glycerin, a handle on top of the device can be turned to disperse
the dye throughout the cylinder as would be expected by the Law of Entropy
(everything tends to change to a less ordered state). However, if the handle
is then turned backwards the same number of times as it was turned orginally,
the spot of dye mysteriously reforms itself in contradiction to the Second
Law of Thermodynamics.
