What is your url a reference to?
So in the days of ye olde internet the name I most often chose for my accounts was maxwellsdemon, a reference to Maxwell's Demon, a thought experiment by the physicist Maxwell about how a magic being could theoretically negate the second law of thermodynamics.
When I joined tumblr the name maxwellsdemon was not available. I choose my name because I identify with the himbo: I too thrive to be kind, stupid and (at least somewhat) strong. And I can magically sort particles by their temperature.
#i got an ask!#maxwell's demon#there is a longer story about how we read ''homo faber'' by max frisch in school#that book referenced maxwell's demon like 9000 times#so i did a presentation about that#and the lil guy stuck with me ever since#more ''science based'' magic systems sometimes use maxwell's demon to ''explain'' their magic#like i remember a manga using it to explain how a broom can fly
