Physics

In the card game Poker, a royal flush is an unbeatable hand. Itis composed of an ace, king, queen, jack, and 10 all of the samesuit. There are four possible royal flushes:

A♣️, K♣️, Q♣️, J♣️, 10♣️.
A♠︎, K♠︎, Q♠︎, J♠︎, 10♠︎.
A♥️, K♥️, Q♥️, J♥️, 10♥️.
A♦︎, K♦︎, Q♦︎, J♦︎, 10♦︎.

As you may expect, the probability of being dealt a royal flush isincredibly tiny. \"Any poker player who has ever been dealt a royalflush will remember it for the rest of his or her life.\"

There are other hands that are less impressive than a royal flush.The least valuable hand is a bunch of unrelated numbers (e.g. notthe same, not in a row) of different suits. For example, thehand

4♦︎, 3♦︎, J♥️, 2♠︎, 7♦︎.

is worth almost nothing. Let's call it a \"lousy hand.\"

It turns out that this is a good analogy to understand entropy. Aspecific hand that one is dealt is a microstate. The classificationof the hand (\"royal flush\" versus \"lousy hand\") is amacrostate.

Explain the difference between \"microstates\" and\"macrostates\" in this poker analogy.
