On the Statistical Viewpoint Concerning the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics a Reminder on the Ehrenfests' Urn Model
Domenico Giulini
Abstract
In statistical thermodynamics the 2nd law is properly spelled out in terms of conditioned probabilities. As such it makes the statement, that `entropy increases with time' without preferring a time direction. In this paper I try to explain this statement--which is well known since the time of the Ehrenfests--in some detail within a systematic Bayesian approach.
