Add to ORKGThe analysis of the dynamical behavior of a system consisting of two isolated cavities, filled with a gas and separated by a moving adiabatic wall, reveals that the entropy of such an isolated system can undergo a significant decrease. This notable result is extremely sensitive to the system dimensions, any appreciable deviation from a mesoscopic scale of the order of one micron rendering our conclusions invalid, so that no implications can be drawn from our results on the validity of the second law of thermodynamics at a macroscopic level
