Molecular chaos
text:
In the kinetic theory of gases in physics, the molecular chaos hypothesis is the assumption that the velocities of colliding particles are uncorrelated, and independent of position. This means the probability that a pair of particles with given velocities will collide can be calculated by considering each particle separately and ignoring any correlation between the probability for finding one particle with velocity v and probability for finding another velocity v' in a small region δr.
