The author lingers on science's failed attempts to exorcise "Maxwell's Demon." an imaginary creature who can create heat without doing any work, thus circumventing the second law by simply separating molecules based upon their relative velocities. Norretranders gives a more common-place analogy, whereby one can heat a room simply by opening the window to let fast molecule in and slow molecules our; in the end, however, Norretranders...
