| Sep 25, 2014 at 0:10 | comment | added | honeste_vivere | yeah sorry, that was my idiotic mistake. It wasn't an issue with your answer, I was screwing around moving between windows and must have hit it by accident. I did not realize I had done this until you made a comment about it. If you make a minor edit to your answer, I can replace the 1up vote (it won't let me change this unless you edit your answer). | |
| Sep 24, 2014 at 19:31 | comment | added | Void | I am wondering who was the one to downvote and what was their issue (Anyone?). It is hard to guess the level of expertize just from the question and it is good to give a broader introduction anyways so that the question is useful for anyone stumbling upon it. The distinction between the process being isentropic or not is exactly the one between counting the decoherent oscillations into heat or not. The most well agreed upon definitions of entropy do not work here so an isentropic process would be loosely defined as one where there were no transfers of heat. | |

Energy, Part C] that showed the correct direction from which to close the contours in Landau's paper (this is how Jackson made his name). I understand linear and nonlinear Landau damping/growth, that isn't the issue. I am confused about the distinction between entropy and irreversibility. | |
