Sorry, with all due respect, I'm not "throwing out" thermodynamics. It's just not relevant to the discovery referenced in the article, which is only concerned with classical mechanics. Thermodynamics is not part of the theory of classical mechanics. I think perhaps you are confusing classical mechanics with classical physics.

See the beginning and the Limits of Validity section. It's "classical mechanics", "quantum", and "relativity".

Thermaldynamics can overlap with quantum but there is a classical regime. Which, let's be clear

I've lost track of the point you're trying to make. Are you still trying to convince everyone that quantum mechanics and thermodynamics are part of the field of classical mechanics?

I never tried to claim quantum was part of classical
