Bose-Einstein versus Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions
P. Enders, Ahornallee Senzig
The reply by Sands & Dunning-Davies [3] to my paper [1] is acknowledged concerning the distribution functions. Keywords: Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, Bose-Einstein distribution, classical ensembles, state functions In my paper ‘Are there physical systems obeying the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics?’[1] I have written down the well-known probabilities of the 4 possible results of one fair toss of 2 fair coins according to the Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB), Bose-Einstein (BE) and Fermi-Dirac (FD) statistics. The two results coin 1 = head, coin 2 = tail and coin 2 = head, coin 1 = tail are counting as different in MB and as one and the same in BE and in FD. Then, I have quoted Gibbs [2], that the interchange of two © 2011 C. Roy Keys Inc. — http://redshift.vif.comApeiron, Vol. 18, No. 1, January 2011 16
