Entropy

.

I have a computer chip in my ear lobe, recording and transmitting every dissenting thing I say, watching me, making sure I never amount to any influential position.

One day all of us who have said 'stuff' here will be executed, one by one. I really believe that. I'm gonna go talk to my Eschelon friend now.

ok, what's a maxwell's demon?

A system in which no energy is lost. That is the easiest answer.

but energy is supposed to be conserved in a closed system. in any system, actually.. but u have to take into account all the lost heat. but what does that have to do with my post? my point was that humans can never change the laws of thermodynamics-so what? they just keep trying. useless really. personally, i kinda like entropy. even on a molecular level, the world tends to greater disorder. a metaphor for life. humans try to organise it.. in a tragically futile attempt. i wonder what it would be like if everything tended to less entropy-more order. (well, we'd all be dead for one thing.. )

A Maxwell Demon, is a system, in which no energy is lost to heat.

so where energy does not transform into lower forms? in other words, an impossibility?

A contradiction.

The way I understand the gremlin is: in a box with a partition. Running around separating the molecules, namely the faster from the slower. In the attempt to find a more economical use of the energy provided.

Yeah. I just prefer the image of a little guy running around, it's more entertaining.

Nope, only GR and M&D. I'm gonna try to get to it by the end of the year.
