Contemporary Views On The Second Law of Thermodynamics

Abstract

Demons Engines, as the violator of the second law of thermodynamics was suggested by James Clerk Maxwell in his paper entitled II Theory of Heat" in 1871. Since that
time numerous versions of the demons have been proposed, and many physicists have attempted to resolve the conundrum of Maxwell's Demon. Only recently the ultimate
and final answer has been presented by the Theory of Computing. The Theory provides the reasons why demon's cannot violate the Second Law. The correct thermodynamic
interpretation of this situation would be to say the demons' engine increaes the entropy of its' memory in order to decrease the entropy of its' environment. The modern views of scientists in the fields of Statistics and probability, Information Theories, and Cybernetics has been extensively disscussed in the paper. The consistency of the Second Law with living organisms and its' credibility on the universal scale has also been disscussed.
