Hi all,
Entropy uses the 6N dimensional phase space. But ...
Roger Balian in "Scientific American" takes one liter gas in a cube and he writes:
I can replace the continuous volume by Q = 10^100 sites after having
evacuated the speeds (he says this is possible with quantum mechanics)
He then counts the number of possible places for the N molecules and get the entropy.
How can he do that?
