According
to
statistical
mechanics,
the second
term
would have
to
stand alone. The
first
term predominates
if
the
energy
content is
small;
in
that
case
the relative fluctuation
of
the
energy
content is
independent
of the number of
resonators
(oscillating
atoms)
over
which this
energy
content
is
distributed.
Thus,
if the
specific
heat
really
behaves
according
to
the
theory,
then Boltzmann's
principle
forces
us
to
assume
this
most
uneven
distribution of
energy
in
the interior of
solids
as
well.
Again,
thank
you
from the
bottom of
my
heart. Your devoted
