Difficulty and possibility of Kinetic Theory of Quantum-Mechanical Systems. Part VI-Summary, Addenda and Conclusion
Abstract
The document concludes the series of the reports written thus far under the same title. The conclusion is that quantum-mechanical states are of ensembles. The notion of ensemble is exactly one hundred years old. It was first conceived by Boltzmann in 1871. In this century, the notion has been somehow distorted. The genuine notion has survived barely as anomalous and obscure. This part is a tribute to those anomalous authors who have fought, with no concent of the majority, for the survival of the true notion of ensemble. The author now believes that the point of departure for truely effective physics should be found by recognizing the old notion of ensemble, its merit and the limitation.
