In laws, supreme law, superseding all other laws, refers to []
Overview
In 1927, English mathematical physicist and astronomer Arthur Eddington , in his The Nature of the Physical World, stated that the second law of thermodynamics was the supreme law of the universe: [1]
“The law that entropy always increases — the second law of thermodynamics — holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell’s equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.”
