πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Maxwell's demon β†’ UNIX daemon; "a demon controls a door between two chambers containing gas. As individual gas molecules (or atoms) approach the door, the demon quickly opens and closes the door to allow only fast-moving molecules to pass through in one direction… " "This would decrease the total entropy of the system, seemingly without applying any work, thereby violating the second law of thermodynamics." The concept of Maxwell's demon has provoked substantial debate in the philosophy of science and theoretical physics, which continues to the present day. It stimulated work on the relationship between thermodynamics and information theory.
