O’Callaghan is a political genius!
“After a while, the left-hand compartment would be full of slow, cold particles...” And there’s where the word “demon” comes into play.
The demon is now rehabbing in a secure Gamblers Anonymous facility and retaining a lawyer because he was forced into a gambling detail, which he did NOT volunteer for, and as a result suffers gambling addiction. He, his name is kept confidential, is seeking compensation for kidnapping, mental cruelty and miscellaneous damages.
Thermodynamics: It’s not just a good idea, it’s the law.
Maxwell’s demon retired to a nursing home a long time ago - you can easily recognize him - he’s the one with Schrodinger’s cat in his lap (or not).

Alaska and space are not the final frontiers. Quantum mechanics is. Just because it’s spooky is no reason not to study it.
Let me know when they can unscramble an egg....................
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and the Law of Conservation of Energy prove an intelligent orderly creator of the universe. Personality and civil/moral law proves a personal God
The mere existence of anything proves the existence of God................
re: “The universe bets on disorder. Imagine, for example, dropping a thimbleful of red dye into a swimming pool. All of those dye molecules ... But there are uncountable billions of permutations ... If the universe chooses from all the possible states at random, you can bet that it’s going to end up with one of the vast set of disordered possibilities.”
And yet - nature DOES organize.
I give you 1) Animal life and 2) storm structures (notably, tornadic thunderstorms and hurricanes).
This is why thought experiments are interspersed but are not proof
re: “Quantum mechanics is.”
100 yr old ideas/idealogy BADLY in need of a re-write.

Professor Irwin Corey..Genius
The good prof explained in great detail that it was necessary to enact Newton's third law in order to keep humanity from continually falling on its ass.
Japanese physicists have demonstrated the equivalence of information and energy. So the Trinity surfaces again. Matter, Energy, Information.

That explains why I get fatter when I read a lot..................
It’s Elvislution - the entire universe is tending to the perfection of Elvis.
“He realized that Maxwell’s demon was at core an information-processing machine: It needed to record and store information about individual particles in order to decide when to open and close the door.”
Seems like there’s a flaw in this logic, since the “demon” could simply be a cleverly-designed valve, which would involve no information processing in the traditional sense, but would still accomplish the same purpose.
