Special types of this quantity include residual which describes the amount of it near absolute zero and the Boltzmann type which neglects internal correlations between the overall particle distribution.
Special types of this quantity include residual which describes the amount of it near absolute zero and the Boltzmann type which neglects internal correlations between the overall particle distribution. It is the only physical quantity (*) that must stay constant or increase as time passes giving it its description as the ‘arrow of time.' Often symbolized by the capital letter S, this is what thermodynamic quantity dealing with a system's degree of disorder.
