"[[Maxwell's demon|[T]he demon]]... is transferring heat from a colder region to a warmer region in apparent defiance of the second law of thermodynamics. ...[A] refrigerator... costs energy to run... but the demon is operating using information instead... The demon... runs without any energy expenditure."
Paul Davies

January 1, 1970
