Except that for an isolated system the entropy is constant. The traditional formulation is "increases or is constant", but certainly the "number of microstates consistent with a macrostate" is referring to a conditional entropy, not an entropy. So the 2nd law actually talks about what happens to the conditional entropy. That, indeed, increases or is a constant for an isolated system.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hawking actually doesn't know this.
Constant is when nothing happens in turns of heat transfer, I assume?
ReplyDeleteSo what's the difference between entropy and conditional entropy?
