Oh absolutely. But I was getting nowhere with the "Professor" so I've stopped wasting my time. He thought I'd be impressed with the fact that he just finished teaching a course in statistical thermodynamics, but the truth is, I just feel sorry for his students. I guess he couldn't explain to them why a black body in thermal equilibrium doesn't have infinite energy, or why the heat capacities of solids were baffling to classical physicists, couldn't discuss low temperature statistical ensembles at all, or metals, or most crystalline solids, or how lasers work, or ... you get the picture. I guess he's a world renowned expert on ideal gases. Or maybe he's Ward Churchill.
"Quantum physics doesn't have any consequences for macroscopic systems." Really. The coffee I just reheated in my microwave doesn't warm up without quantum rotational excitations in the water molecules. And without hot coffee, would life even be worth living?
"Quantum physics doesn't have any consequences for macroscopic systems."
Of course, I never said this. It's not a direct quote, as the quotation marks would indicate. It's not even a paraphrase. It's a just a fabrication by an obsessed and mendacious individual who's got some peculiar bee in his bonnet.
I'm out of town for several days, so I invite the obnoxious FredZarguna to post whatever further smears he wants, with no danger of being caught.
