Maxwellov demon
Maxwellov demon
an imaginary creature that controls a small hole in a partition that divides a chamber filled with gas into two parts and allows fast molecules to move in one direction and slow molecules to move in the other direction through the hole; this would result in one part of the container becoming warmer and the other cooler, thus decreasing entropy and violating the second law of thermodynamics [imaginarno bitje, ki nadzoruje majhno luknjo v pregradi, ki deli komoro napolnjeno z plinom na dva dela in omogoča hitrim molekulam, da se premikajo v eno smer in počasnim molekulam, da se premikajo v drugo smer skozi luknjo; to bi rezultiralo v delu posode, ki postane toplejši in drugega, ki postane hladnejši, s čimer bi se zmanjšala entropija in kršila drugi zakon termodinamike.]
