Maxwell’s Demon and the Problem of Observers in General Relativity

Maxwell’s Demon and the Problem of Observers in General Relativity

The fact that real dissipative (entropy producing) processes may be detected by non-comoving observers (tilted), in systems that appear to be isentropic for comoving observers, in general relativity, is explained in terms of the information theory, analogous with the explanation of the Maxwell&r...
