Kinetic Theory: Irreversible processes

Uniformity, Non-Uniformity, and Irreversibility

We must make the following remark: a proof, that after a certain time t1, the spheres must necessarily be mixed uniformly, whatever may be the initial distribution of states, cannot be given. This is in fact a consequence of probability theory, for any non-uniform distribution of states, no matter how improbable it…
