Physicists discover 'apparent departure from the laws of thermodynamics'

Phys.org[^]:

According to the basic laws of thermodynamics, if you leave a warm apple pie in a winter window eventually the pie would cool down to the same temperature as the surrounding air.

Well heck, Everyone knows that 2 dissimilar materials will heat and cool at different rates. Duhh

I think the nature of the experiment is to wait until both materials are theoretically at the same temperature. It makes me think someone is trying to prove Maxwell's Demons do exist. But many ore erudite people than I are commenting on phys.org.
