    In theory you can because the second law is actually a statistical and probabilistic thing. Currently it looks like that the laws of physics are time direction independent. So if you play a physics simulation forwards and backwards you couldn’t tell the difference for a small number of particles so it it actually can (and does on very small time scales) happen that entropy decreases.
