Baines: The conservation laws apply to matter and energy but demons are neither.
Satvje: They may be unified fields of electro-magnetico-gravitic energy with 100 per cent negative entropy.
Buelg: Completely negative entropy is impossible but stable negative entropy would be H(x)-Hy(x)=C+E.
Satvje: That would be eternal life.
Buelg: Eternal barring accidents. We ought to be able to disrupt the electromagnetic part of the system and thus to kill spirits.
However, I do not understand the equation.

Kaor, Paul!
James Blish expertly casual use of mathematics like this would certainly qualify BLACK EASTER AND THE DAY AFTER JUDGMENT as hard science fiction as well as excellent theological SF.
