The Boltzmann entropy -the number of microstates. We can imagine two balls of the same volume but which are macroscopically different - can they have the same entropy?

I'm kinda confused on the concept of entropy of everyday, low entropy states like macroscopic objects. It is said that the entropy is a measure of disorder, or distinguishability between macroscopic states. Can two objects which are macroscopically distinguishable/look different have the same...

For the first formula: https://arxiv.org/abs/1108.0417 For the second: https://arxiv.org/abs/1110.4630 Chapter 4.3.

Suppose we have a gas in the room at some temperature which is room temperature or higher. In some references the probability is given by -ΔS, which is indeed a tiny number and makes sense. However, in other references the probability is given by the Boltzmann factor plus the number of...
