Thermodynamics and the aims of statistical mechanics
... An absolutely central concept is thermal equilibrium. Equilibrium is any state a system is in once it has stopped exchanging heat with its surroundings; or, if it has no surroundings (= is isolated), once it has settled down to a macroscopically unchanging state. (Feynman: “equilibrium is when all t ...
