Isn't this implied by the second law of thermodynamics..?
ie. "energy systems have a tendency to increase their entropy rather than decrease it." or "heat can spontaneously flow from a higher-temperature region to a lower-temperature region, but not the other way around." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics)
So heat/energy/information/whatever will always redistribute and disperse itself (bumping into stuff along the way) if left to the forces of nature!
