…In England, this argument was accepted, and discussion of the second law ceased for about 20 years. Maxwell also considered Gibbs' paradox, which states that when different types of molecules are mixed, entropy increases, but when the molecules are homogeneous, it remains unchanged, and argued that entropy is not an observable property of the system itself, but a quantity related to human knowledge of the system. In other words, entropy is not a microscopic physical quantity, but a macroscopic physical quantity. … *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Gibbs's paradox" are listed below.

…イギリスではこの議論は受容され,第2法則の議論は20年間くらいやんだ。マクスウェルはまた,異種の分子を混合するとエントロピーは増すのに同種のときは不変であるというギブズの背理を考え,エントロピーは系自体のもつ観測可能な性質ではなく,系についての人間の知識にも関係する量だとした。つまりエントロピーは微視的物理量ではなく,巨視的物理量だというのである。… ※「ギブズの背理」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
