I only realized when I watched Susskind's excellent "Modern Physics: The Theoretical Minimum" series on statistical mechanics (back before I had children and no longer had time for casual self-improvement...).Seth Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09304457461800104790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439168179960787195.post-88190976674746939102012-07-25T11:18:06.948+10:002012-07-25T11:18:06.948+10:00So gravitationally bound systems can have negative...So gravitationally bound systems can have negative heat capacity!
