Probability to find a particle in some region of space is inversely proportional to velocity particle has in that region of space.
Let's say we have two cases: one particle has velocity given by v(t)=v0*Cos(w*t), and other by v(t)=v0-v1*Cos(w*t), (v0>v1).
Since particle spends more time in regions of low velocity this should imply that probability to find a particle with low velocity is bigger than to find it with high velocity . For the first case probability to find a particle with velocity around v0 should be equal to probability to find a particle with velocity around -v0. In the second case the probability to find a particle with velocity around v0-v1 should be much bigger that to find it with velocity v0+v1, but on the other hand v(t) is distribution of velocity of a particle in time, and from this it looks that probability to find a particle with velocity around v0-v1 should be equal to probability to find a particle with velocity around v0+v1.
All opinions appreciated.
