Somehow that looks later than 1954.

corroborated a few years later in a different
experiment by Milnes,

The Anpheon

and by much later findings that new
stars are forming right now, in very
hot regions of the cosmos, the second
law is incorect.

So a fusion engine is pushing hydrogen
and helium to a lower energy state as
heavier nucleii, and you think this disproves
the second law?

If hot spots cause dust to collect within them
for any reason at all, then how can it still be
thought that heat is the lowest form of energy
- as the 2nd law says?

The spot isn't hot *until* it gathers. Once it is hot enough, it
can "blast away" incoming material (like the Sun's heliosheath).

Work cannot be obtained from heat, unless you have a cold sink.
Additionally, you are limited to less than 100% conversion. No
other form of "stored work" has that requirement.

If stars form in hot spots, and stars do have
gravitational fields, then not only the second law,
but its consequence - the heat death of the
universe - is false.

The Universe is expected to end cold, or did you not realize
that?

No, your non-logic is not helping you.

One of us is illogical, but I disagree with you
as to which of us it is. [-:
