Similarly, to return to the uncharged gas in a piston that I mentioned at
09:16 AM 2/11/01 -0500, you could argue that "normally" the gas particles
interact with the piston via electrostatic forces at impact. But what
happens if I coat the surface of the piston with some hypothetical material
that repels the gas via some magnetic interaction, or some nuclear
interaction, or whatever? The measured pressure is unchanged. The
pressure does not depend on the nature of the interaction. It only depends
on the kinetic energy via the quantum statistics.
