Question

Did you know? Ludwig Boltzmann formulated the second law of thermodynamics mathematically — entropy always increases. His formula S = k log W is on his gravestone in Vienna. He killed himself in 1906, partly because his work on atoms was not accepted by his contemporaries.

Ludwig Boltzmann formulated the second law of thermodynamics mathematically — entropy always increases. His formula S = k log W is on his gravestone in Vienna. He killed himself in 1906, partly because his work on atoms was not accepted by his contemporaries.

Ludwig Boltzmann formuleerde de tweede hoofdwet van de thermodynamica wiskundig — entropie altijd toeneemt. Zijn formule S = k log W staat op zijn grafsteen in Wenen. Hij pleegde in 1906 zelfmoord, gedeeltelijk omdat zijn werk over atomen niet werd geaccepteerd door tijdgenoten.
