49. m [39]. This fact in conjunction with the continuity equation assures that no net mass crosses the surface of such a body at any point. However, this is a strictly macroscopic statement in the sense that individual molecules are nevertheless free to cross a material surface in either direction without violating this no-flux condition, provided only that in some time-average sense there are no large-scale variations in the number of molecules contained within the domain. Clearly, the material view has nothing to say about the role of such fluctuations in regard to their possible impact upon Newton's laws of motion, which apply strictly only to permanent collections of molecules.
