Oppdatert:
Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann (German pronunciation: [ˈluːtvɪg ˈbɔlt͡sman]; February 20, 1844 – September 5, 1906) was an Austrian physicist and philosopher. His greatest achievements were the development of statistical mechanics, and the statistical explanation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. He provided (1877) the current definition of entropy,
S
=
k
B
ln
Ω
{\displaystyle S=k_{\rm {B}}\ln \Omega \!}
, interpreted as a measure of statistical disorder of a system.
125-Year-Old Problem Unites Three Laws of Physics
Physics has long grappled with a "split personality": the macroscopic world of smooth, continuous fluids and the microscopic reality of trillions of discrete, colliding particles.
While the motion of a river can be described by elegant fluid equations, zooming in reveals a chaotic dance of molecul…

Thermodynamics: Equations That Changed The World
This episode of The Unwinding Clock explores how the Industrial Revolution’s quest for efficiency unearthed Entropy, the universal law of increasing disorder.
The journey begins in the flooded coal mines of 18th-century Britain, where inventors like Thomas Newcomen and James Watt revolutionized st…
Episode #190 – Time
Somewhere in the world a person has either lost their private keys or has chosen to take them to the grave, and a fixed quantity of Bitcoin will never move again. The surface answer is that the holder gave up purchasing power. This episode argues that what they actually gave up, in a strict physica…
107. The Entropy of Beauty
The second law of thermodynamics says that disorder always increases. Not sometimes. Always. Ludwig Boltzmann proved it in the 1870s. Rudolf Clausius named it. The universe is moving toward a state of maximum entropy — a cold, uniform, perfectly disordered nothing — and there are no known exception…
The Scientific Method vs Actual Science, Part I
In middle school, most of us were taught the "scientific method" – a simplified list of steps meant to help kids understand how scientists approach the world. But how accurate is it, really? In this episode, we get to talking about the history of science, and discuss how the reality of scientific r…
"A relatively brief explanation of Boltzmann Brains" by Eliezer Yudkowsky
(Initially written for the LW Wiki, but then I realized it was looking more like a post instead.) In 1895, the physicist Ignaz Robert Schütz, who worked as an assistant to the more eminent physicist Ludwig Boltzmann, wondered if our observed universe had simply assembled by a random fluctuation of …
Time's Arrow - Part 2
Here is the thirty-ninth episode of Quantum Foam, Time's Arrow - Part 2. There needed to be another part to this topic. The Big Bang Theory was a pretty good TV show. Ludwig Boltzmann committed suicide. Constantin Carathéodory was a Greek mathematician who made significant contributions to real and…

What Does Entropy Actually Measure? - Entropy and the Disorder Misconception | Sleepy Facts About the Universe
Most of us have heard entropy described as disorder, a tidy room becoming messy, or a shuffled deck of cards. This familiar metaphor feels intuitive, but it conceals more than it reveals. This episode examines what entropy actually measures, tracing the concept back to its precise origins in ninete…
