I am a biophysicist who taught thermodynamics to engineering students for many years. In an effort to make sense out of it maximally, almost a joke with thermo as little of it is intuitive in any way, I made a great effort to understand statistical mechanics. Some 35 years of trying later, I and my group have stumbled upon a new and more precise statistics,as extreme and implausible as that sounds, that makes possible a new and more precise statistical mechanics.
Phycisists use math as a language and not as an evolving science, so I have found out, and are difficult to engage for criticism of it. I am pretty sure we must be correct because even though my PhD is not in math, per se, I am fairly sharp in mathemtics.
If somebody would check our new math out on our website, www.matrix-evolutions.com, and give an opinion, I would very much appreciate it. Warning, though, to scroll past my wife's few introductory paragraphs, which are political, redically so, but have nothing to do with the math.
Thank you. P. Calabria
Statistical mechanics is not at all statistics, but is
an application of probability to the behavior of a
mathematical model of physical situations.
The key part of statistics is that one has many states
of nature, usually infinitely many, and a class of actions,
and for each state of nature and each action there are
consequences. The problem is to choose the action based
on the assessment of all these consequences, and which
states of nature have which consequences for each action.
