The Center Debates: Gibbs vs Boltzmann
October 8, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm EDT
What is the relationship between Gibbsian and Boltzmannian statistical mechanics? Relatedly, how should Gibbsian statistical mechanics and Boltzmannian statistical mechanics be interpreted? Is Gibbsian statistical mechanics or Boltzmannian statistical mechanics more fundamental?
David Wallace (University of Pittsburgh, HPS Dept.) and Charlotte Werndl (University of Salzburg & LSE, Logic & Phil of Science) will walk us through the arguments of this long-standing conflict.
Will there be a resolution? Tune in to find out!
This will be an online event hosted on Zoom, registration will be required.
