It Ain’t Necessarily So: Ludwig Boltzmann’s Darwinian Notion of Entropy
Ludwig Boltzmann’s move in his seminal paper of 1877, introducing a statistical understanding of entropy, was a watershed moment in the history of physics. The work not only introduced quantization and provided a new understanding of entropy, it challenged the understanding of what a law of nature c...
