In previous notes, we argued the Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB) distribution (as well as the Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein) may be obtained by a time reversal elastic two particle scattering balance. This approach requires no concept of entropy, counting of states or partition functions. For the MB case, one may write f(e1)f(e2)=f(e3)f(e4) ((1a)) to describe e1+e2=e3+e4 ((1b)). Taking ln of both sides of ((1a)) and associating with ((1b)) yields the MB distribution. The scattering approach allows one to visualize a physical mechanism (i.e. elastic scattering) create the equilibrium balance, but it also exposes some possible issues, it seems. First of all, there are cases where f(ei) is very small i.e. the particle energy is very large. For a gas w...
