FUNDAMENTAL ASSUMPTION of<br />
STATISTICAL MECHANICS<br />
IG-10<br />
An isolated system is equally likely, over time, to be<br />
found in any one of the fully-specified states<br />
accessible to it.<br />
NB: This assumption allows all possible<br />
configurations of the system (macrostate) if we<br />
observe it for long enough.<br />
However, you might have to wait a very long time to<br />
observe certain configurations<br />
