"The second law is an empirically validated postulate of thermodynamics" [1]
And
"Empirical evidence (also empirical data, sense experience, empirical knowledge, or the a posteriori) is a source of knowledge acquired by means of observation" [2]
"The second law is an empirically validated postulate of thermodynamics" [1]
