ENTROPY AND LORENTZ TRANSFORMATIONS

Abstract As the entropy is a measure of our ignorance, the lack of our knowledge of time-like variables in relativistic quantum mechanics can be translated into an entropy. Within the framework of the covariant harmonic oscillator formalism for relativistic extended hadrons, the entropy can be calculated in terms of the hadronic velocity. The entropy in this case is not derived from thermodynamics or statistical mechanics, but purely from the incompleteness of information.
