Fundamentally, entropy is derived from what is known as the canonical ensembles. There are three of them depending on the boundary conditions: the micro canonical ensemble, the canonical ensemble, and the macro canonical ensemble. These mathematical formalisms allow the specific calculation of entropy, S, as an intrinsic measure of the density of states, Omega.

Dear Jarhead, I very much appreciated your above remarks when first I read them. I pinged my last to you, not because I disagreed with you, but because i thought you might find my conversation interesting. (I was responding to another poster at the time. He has yet to give me Hell.... I can't wait. :^)

Hope springs eternal. Thanks for writing!

Dear Ms. Boop,

I do find your converstation interesting. Indeed, if we are going to argue creationism vs. evolution, let's at least do it well. You and Alamo-Girl represent your side well.

It is a whole lot more interesting to argue with you, because it is intelligent, rather than the usual crevo threads which devolve essentially to:

You are an anti-God, satanist and will burn in hell.

No, you are stupid, your children are stupid, and your whole life is stupid.

After a while, this begins to wear on all of us.
