Abstract: (APS)
We present a simple argument to show why a high entropy phase must exhibit an extended pion source lifetime. The plasmas that would be formed under the conditions of the recent heavy ion experiments would emit pions over a time of the order of 10 fm/c or longer, if the plasma has an entropy density larger than that of a pion gas by an order of magnitude.
