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!) |
