📝 Contenuto del prompt
Explain the theoretical paradox of Maxwell's Demon, a hypothetical being that seems to violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics by sorting fast and slow molecules. Analyze how Rolf Landauer's principle regarding the energy cost of erasing information resolves this paradox, and discuss the theoretical link between entropy and information.
