thermodynamics - What is the minimum energy a quantum can bear? ...and more


Here are my assumptions:



  • Energy can be transferred only in limited dosages.

  • When two particles collide, they exchange energy, so that the more energetic particle carries less and the less energetic particle carries more energy, than before the collision.

  • These interactions happen on and on.

  • Less and more energetic particles tend to mix.



Let's have a dissipative system with more and less energic particles. Should the system get perfectly balanced (to the state where all the particles have exactly the same amount of energy) after some time?


If some of my assumptions don't work, would my hypothesis about the perfect balance apply if these assumptions were correct?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
