Physical Axiom: Landauer’s Principle (1961)
ΔQ ≥ k_B T · ln(2)
In 1867, James Clerk Maxwell proposed a demon that could violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics by sorting hot and cold molecules without work.
In 1961, Rolf Landauer proved why the demon fails: the demon must acquire, store, and erase information about the particles.
Erasing 1 bit of physical information dissipates a minimum of kBT ln 2 joules into heat.
