Vandaag 10 jaar geleden https://sailing-dulce.nl/home/article-4742 #maxwellsdemon #entropie #jonnekoski Dinsdag 19-01-2016 Onlangs werd een een tergend lastig gedachtenexperiment daadwerkelijk uitgevoerd door fysici van de Aalto University bij Helsinki. Het is verrukkelijke natuurkunde: Maxwells demon. Het gedachtenexperiment is al erg oud, bedacht in 1869 door de grote natuurkundige James Clerk Maxwell. Het tracht de beroemde 2e Wet van de Thermodynamica te ontkrachten, een wet die altijd en overal in het unive..
Happy birthday to #physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879)! He dreamt up his demon to deal with the very odd 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (which is not a law like others, and can not be derived from first priciples). It states that two bodies of different temperature brought together in a closed system will reach thermal equilibrium; or, you cannot use a cold thing to heat a hot thing; 🧡

Here's an illustration of the "Maxwell's Demon" thought experiment, with the demon's "gate" programmed to allow particles moving from right to left but block left to right.

My next Android app will be a game based on this scenario. Watch this space!

To make progress on the reducing emissions and addressing the climate crisis, we must win the information war.

The election of a climate-denying President shows America and progressives are losing this war, but the reasons are complex.

Here is my hypothesis on what’s happened, how we got here, and the path forward:

The Demon in the Information Sphere: How Disinformation Shapes Reality

Have you been red pilled? It’s easier to be manipulated than you may think. When told to pick between two circles of equal size, one blue and one red, which circle is bigger, a classroom full of st…

Maxwell's Demon went down to Arkansas.

This group of physicists claims to be able to harvest usable energy from ambient heat.

In physics, this a big no-no, one of the biggest imaginable.
