Summary
| Description | Schematic of the thought experiment in James Clerk Maxwell's Theory of Heat (1871), drawn by code (hand-written SVG): a being at a hole in the partition lets only faster molecules pass from A to B and only slower ones from B to A. Forty molecules are drawn; arrow length stands for speed. The figure is a plain stand-in, not Maxwell's description of the being. |
