Abstract
By example of a particle interacting with ideal gas, it is shown that statistics of collisions in statistical mechanics at any degree of the gas rarefaction qualitatively differs from that conjugated with Boltzmann's hypothetical molecular chaos and kinetic equation. In reality, probability of the particle collisions in itself is random, which results in power-law asymptotic of the particle velocity relaxation. An estimate of its exponent is suggested basing on simple kinematic reasonings
