On the practical application of negentropic polarization of thermodynamically equilibrium photon gas

TL;DR

This paper investigates how isotropic photon gases in thermodynamic equilibrium can spontaneously develop polarization anisotropy, challenging traditional assumptions and supported by simulation and experimental confirmation.

Contribution

It introduces a practical model showing spontaneous polarization anisotropy in equilibrium photon gases, questioning the universality of microstate equiprobability.

Findings

Simulation confirmed spontaneous polarization in isotropic radiation.

Predicted conditions for polarization anisotropy in equilibrium.

Experimental evidence supports the simulation results.

Abstract

In the course of the analysis of the axiomatic principles underlying statistical physics, the assumption about the limited correctness of the postulate of equiprobability of all available microstates of a closed system was tested. Earlier, the result of simulation modeling of the most probable stationary state of a stochastic isolated system, inside which isotropic monochrome radiation spontaneously acquired anisotropic polarization, was obtained (later the presence of such an effect was confirmed by a natural experiment). This article considers an already practically significant variant of suchlike a system. The conditions for the appearance of polarization anisotropy in a thermodynamically equilibrium medium initially filled with isotropic Planck radiation are predicted. Important consistent pattern of the applied mathematical model are noted.
