    • When we consider many particles, it is convenient to introduce the concept of a phase space in which a point represents the collections of particles' coordinates and momenta. Thus, each point in the phase space represents a state of the system. A microstate of the system is represented not by a point, but by a volume element h3N, where h is Planck's constant; see Section 5 for more details

    • The reader should pause to guess about our motivation to italicize container. During the process of expansion or at any other time, the gas molecules are always experiencing the walls of the container. Later, we will see that the presence of walls becomes a central concept for breaking the temporal symmetry. Their presence gives rise to boundary conditions for the collisions of gas particles with the walls. These collisions are not described by potentials that are part of the Hamiltonian of the system, and destroy the temporal symmetry, just like the presence of walls destroys the homogeneity of space

    • Note
    • Whether the entire universe satisfies the second law is an unsettled problem at present. To verify it requires making measurement of some sort on different parts of an ever-expanding universe at the same instant. It is not clear whether it is possible to send signals to distant receding parts of our expanding universe to be able to make this measurement; most of these parts are probably causally disconnected from us. The idea of an isolated system is based on an exterior from which it is isolated. To test the isolation, we need to perform some sort of test from outside the isolated system. We need to know if we live in a universe or a multiverse. Also, is there a physical boundary to our universe isolating it from outside? By physical, we mean it to be composed of matter and energy. What is outside this boundary, and how can we test or know what is outside, while remaining inside the isolated universe? If there is a physical boundary, does it contain all the matter and energy within it or is there energy outside it? Are dark matter and dark energy confined within this boundary or do they also exist outside it? If it is vacuum outside, does it have any vacuum energy, which is then absorbed by the expanding universe? At present, we do not know answers to these questions. It is highly likely that there is no physical boundary to the universe that we can detect. Everything that we observe is causally connected to us and lies within the universe. Therefore, we cannot see its boundary, which is causally disconnected from us. For all practical purposes, the universe appears to be "unbounded" to us. The only sensible thing we can speak of is a part (within the causally connected observable universe) of the universe, finite in extent within this "unbounded" universe. The surrounding medium of the observable universe and the 3K radiation generate stochasticity and ensure that the observable universe satisfies the second law. In our opinion, causally disconnected parts of the universe have no bearing on the second law. Therefore, we will not worry about this issue here.

    • This is impossible at least due to the presence of the remanent 3 K radiation from the big bang that permeates the entire universe. We will neglect this radiation and other thermal radiation from the walls and other external bodies when we consider a deterministic dynamics. They will become an integral part of the discussion when we deal with stochastic dynamics

    • A truly isolated system is really an idealization and will not correctly represent a physical system, as noted in the previous footnote. For a correct representation, the description requires a probabilistic approach, which follows from the loss of temporal inhomogeneity; see the discussion leading to.(9)

    • Indeed, it is found that the entire phase space with 2N microstates is broken into disjoint components, so that the initial microstate in a given component evolves into microstates belonging to this component alone; no microstates from other components occur in the evolution. However, Poincaré's recurrence theorem applies to each component separately

    • As the system is no longer isolated because of its interaction with the environment, E, N, V need not remain constant and may fluctuate. However, as long as we are dealing with very weak environmental noise, we can safely treat the system as quasi-isolated in that the widths of their spread can be neglected
