Maxwell's Demon and the Laws of Thermodynamics

As a poetic epilog to his 1870 textbook Theory of Heat, genius and savant James Clerk Maxwell proposed that we look at molecules and microseconds instead of pushing air into tanks against its will. Status quo science fixated on the "small being" and forgot to consider existing hardware and processes. Maxwell used math to predict the discovery of the electromagnetic spectrum (those are waves). Einstein called him the father of modern physics.
