That assertion is incorrect. You are no dummy so I'm sure you'll
correct it when you realize the errors.


Sorry, but it's not. Pressure is created by particle collisions.


Brian Whatcott already addressed one of the errors I had in mind. The other
I had in mind was your incorrect assertion "*by definition*". You should
have asserted "*by derivation*". College level texts on statistical and
thermal physics *derive* the gas laws from statistical mechanics; they do
not present them as true "by definition." (Though that would make for short
textbooks!)
