ISBN 0-684-85186-5 Reviewed by Clayton A. Gearhart The Austrian theoretical physicist Ludwig Boltzmann shaped much of the physics of the 20th century. His influence was central to Max Planck's 1900-1901 papers on blackbody radiation, to Josiah Willard Gibbs's 1902 formulation of statistical mechanics, and to Albert Einstein's 1905 papers on the light quantum and on Brownian motion. Boltzmann was not only one of the most creative and influential physicists of the 19th century, but one of its most colorful personalities as well. His amusing account of his visit to California in 1905, "Journey of a German Professor to Eldorado," has been widely reprinted, and the number and variety of Boltzmann stories rival those told about Richard Feynman! David Lindley's new popular biography is thus a welcome addition to the Boltzmann literature. Lindley is a physicist with wide experience as an editor and science writer. He gives a solid account of Boltzmann's life, one that makes good use of the collections of Boltzmann's correspondence that have appeared in recent years. There are also thumbnail sketches of such figures as Ernst Mach, James Clerk Maxwell, and Gibbs.

Ludwig Boltzmann (1844 - 1906) und die Atome Ludwig Boltzmann war ein Wiener Physiker, der uns noch oft begegnen wird. Er hat letztlich die statistische Interpretation des Hauptsatzes der Thermodynamik, eines der grundlegendsten Gesetze der Physik (und der Informationstheorie) gefunden. Die folgende Formel wird uns noch oft begegnen; sie steht auf seinem Grabstein. S = k ln W statistischen Thermodynamik "Paradigms lost" von John L. Casti entnommen ist. Boltzmanns Problem war, daß seine Theorie der Wärme ein Assemble von Atomen erforderte, das sich nach den Regeln der klassischen Mechanik bewegte. Er benutzte das Konzept eines Atoms als ein Materieteilchen, um in seiner Theorie "Wärme" als eine statistische Eigenschaft erklären zu können, die aus der Gesamtbewegung der Atome resultiert. Beachtenswert ist, daß diese Theorie um die Jahrhundertwende entstand, einige Jahre bevor die Arbeiten von Rutherford, Thomson und Bohr das moderne Konzept der Atome begründeten. Als Ergebnis seiner "atomaren Spekulationen" wurde Boltzmann in einen heißen Streit mit den damaligen Giganten der Wissenschaft verwickelt, insbesondere mit seinem Wiener Kollegen Ernst Mach und dem deutschen (physikalischen) Chemiker Wilhelm Ostwald September das Leben.

journal of science education Search About Resonance Editorial Board ... Back Issues Ludwig Boltzmann and Entropy Sriram Ramaswamy So what did Boltzmann do? l He defined entropy as log W, where W is the number of microstates accessible to the system. From this definition flows all of thermodynamics and statistical physics. l He explained in statistical terms the second law of thermodynamics, i.e., that entropy must in general increase for an isolated system, and showed how such `irreversible' behaviour could follow from the time-symmetric laws of mechanics. l He constructed an approximate but very useful model (the Boltzmann transport equation) to describe how the distribution of positions and velocities of the particles of a gas evolves in time under flow and collisions. l His work, in particular the idea of counting microstates, relied in a fundamental way on the idea that matter was composed of discrete atoms. Its success, and his impassioned defence of these ideas, established atomism once and for all. Below, I summarise briefly the course of Boltz-mann's life and work. More on the subject can be found in the various `entropy articles' in this special issue dedicated to him, as well as in others to which I refer at the end.

Dona Fifi aos 16 anos. As atribulações de Ludwig Boltzmann No túmulo de Ludwig Boltzmann, no Cemitério Central de Viena, pode-se ver a imagem do criador da Física Estatística e, acima dela, a famosa equação: S = k log W. O curioso é que Boltzmann nunca escreveu essa equação. Ela apareceu, pela primeira vez, no livro Teoria do Calor , de Max Planck, publicado em 1906, ano da morte de Boltzmann. Até a constante k , hoje chamada de constante de Boltzmann , foi introduzida na literatura por Planck. Mas, isso não tem nenhuma importância, pois Boltzmann foi o primeiro e o mais ativo defensor da idéia de explicar os fenômenos macroscópicos (pressão, temperatura etc) através de interações entre átomos e moléculas em constante movimento. Hoje, qualquer criança de jardim da infância sabe o que é um átomo e aceita, com naturalidade, sua existência. No final do século 19, porém, muitos físicos e químicos de renome não aceitavam a idéia de que a matéria é descontínua. As opinões de Boltzmann foram contestadas com veemência por Ernest Mach e Wilhelm Ostwald e as desavenças, em certos momentos, saíram da arena puramente científica, entrando na disputa pessoal. Túmulo de Bolzmann em Viena Fotografado por Constantino Tsallis No entanto, Boltzmann não estava só, nessa disputa. Alguns dos maiores sábios da Europa e dos Estados Unidos sempre o apoiaram. Inúmeras honrarias e títulos lhe foram concedidos pelas mais conceituadas universidades. O próprio Max Planck, um de seus maiores fãs, escreveu, em 1904:

resources Students' resources Ludwig Boltzmann Ludwig Boltzmann was born in Austria in 1844. Awarded a doctorate from the University of Vienna, he never stayed in any University post for long. At least half jokingly, he used to say that the reason he moved around so much was that he was born during the dying hours of a Mardi Gras ball. However he also suffered from rapid swings between happiness and sadness which probably also encouraged him to move regularly. His personality certainly had a major impact on the direction that his career took and personal relationships, where he was always very soft-hearted, played a big part. He was short and stout with curly hair and his fiancée called him her "sweet fat darling". Boltzmann worked in an area of physics now called statistical mechanics , using probability to describe how the properties of groups of atoms determine the properties of matter. However Boltzmann's ideas were not accepted by many scientists, particularly the older, more established and well-known figures. Some felt that Boltzmann's work denied that God was at the heart of physics, whilst others simply could not understand his ideas and equations. One of Boltzmann's biggest opponents was Wilhelm Ostwald, a physical chemist who had once been a close colleague. The events of one meeting they attended in 1895 was described by a fellow scientist as follows :
