  > You cannot measure the entropy, only changes of entropy You can measure the changes in entropy from a minimal state and integrate - and you'll get the "total" entropy. And thanks for looking it up! I remembered a very similar conversation and was wondering if you were the same person, but was a bit lazy to search :)

    > You can measure the changes in entropy from a minimal state and integrate - and you'll get the "total" entropy That doesn’t help with the following (at least if you keep those kinds of gas in gas state): > if I give you three containers […] you can measure their entropy using thermodynamic experiments and tell which of the three is a mix of the other two because it will have a higher entropy But you can weight them, it’s much easier.
