There was a time not long ago when most physicists were pretty sure that Newtonian mechanics was correct as well. It is entirely unclear to me why anyone would expect the laws of statistical mechanics to apply to a realm where the laws of mechanics do not apply. Perhsps you can enlighten us as to why this must be the case Tom. I await your response with baited breah.

"There was a time not long ago when most physicists were pretty sure that Newtonian mechanics was correct as well." How is Newtonian mechanics incorrect? It may not work well when dealing with the very small (subatomic level) or the very fast (going towards light speed), but here in the world I always inhabit, it works pretty well. In this world as well, I have yet to encounter anything free, that is, which doesn't have a price or a cost. |
