Abstract

We elaborate on the similarities between the explanation of the well known Maxwell’s demon paradox, based on the theory of information, and the rationale behind 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.
Keywords: general relativity; theory of information; tilted spacetimes general relativity; theory of information; tilted spacetimes
