> PPM By the way, theoretically (!) - not in practice - a PPM would be completely trivial from the axioms of classical physics: You simply look at a particle with constant momentum. It should move indefinetly. But that's not what people were interested in back then, of course. They wanted...

Of course, you'd still never have a PMM... My claim would only mean that you can "cheat" the second law of thermodynamics to some degree but not perfectly... I'd always expect some entropy to be left, which increases again... The increasing of entropy, if your state is far from the equilibrium...

I think what you refer to is what I'd refer to as the "new argument"... But that's just a matter of naming conventions, of course...

A quote from the author on the linked phys.org page: "Often we have more information available than thermodynamics supposes," Dahlsten said, explaining that things are normally not fully random and have a degree of predictability. "We can then use demon set-ups such as this one to extract work...

I'm a privacy aware member interested in research topics including but not limited to hyperoperation and semi-classical physics...

As a start for discussion I'd like to make the following bold claim: Both the problems of enough usable energy and global warming can be resolved by implementing Maxwell's demon on a large scale. To justify this bold statement somewhat, I'd like to point to a (relatively) recent...
