Wiktionary

  1. Maxwells demonnoun

    A hypothetical creature created for a thought experiment. Maxwell's demon, if it existed, would act as a sort of gate guard by sorting between higher-energy molecules and lower-energy molecules within an enclosed space. Because such a sorting process would tend to decrease entropy, it would violate the second law of thermodynamics.

  2. Etymology: Named after physicist w:James Clerk Maxwell and demon, and probably from Greek daemon, a mythological being intermediate between gods and men.
