I am brand new to the GF lifestyle and still
in a
state of mass
confusion but I must be doing something right
because I feel better than I have since I was young and my huge «wheat belly» is rapidly shrinking.
Even though I can't imagine gravity functioning as a Maxwell Demon, even though Caballero
in section 2.17 both
states and leaves as a student exercise the proof that the thermodynamic equilibrium
state of a vertical column
of gas is isothermal, there has been a lot
of confusion and strange assertions about a gas arriving at a
state because of bulk transport that sorts out temperature differences approximately adiabatically (neglecting conduction), but that is somehow thermodynamically stable without transport and with conduction
in the end.
