It is the central formula of the statistical mechanics developed by Boltzmann
-
The consequences of Boltzmann’s new theory bothered so many colleagues; the argument
was so severe that Boltzmann committed suicide. Especially two aspects of his statistical approach in thermodynamics were attacked:
-
A statistical approach assumes the existence of many equivalent smallest particles, i.e.
of atoms. But this was not accepted generally in the middle of the 19. Century.
-
By claiming the dominance of the statistical character of thermodynamics as also
-
In Darwin’s Evolution Theory in the Biology and
-
Later on in Quantum mechanics
-
The aimed and ordered world of a god leaded society was questioned.
-
e.g. Max Planck did not accepted statistical thermodynamics due to this reason
-
Due to similar reasons Einstein did not accept the interpretation of quantum mechanics:
”God does not dice!”
-
From today’s point of view: ”Order generated by chaos \(\Rightarrow\)
Synergy”
