3-dimensional hard spheres gas:
N hard spheres in a box.
N=1: Velocity space is 3-dimensional, with a 2-dimensional
spherical energy surface. To demonstrate the equal a priory density on the
energy surface we project the spherical surface onto a rectangle,
using Lambert's area preserving (and therefore density preserving)
projection.
Interestingly, the velocity density p(vx) is now a
constant.
N>1: Velocity space has 3N dimensions. The statistical distributions
evidently approach the large-N limits.
In particular, the velocity density p(vx) already
resembles a Gaussian.
