The healing power of the mind

The Tragic Life of Ludwig Boltzmann

crotchflame says...

He did receive a lot of opposition, but he also met with quite a bit of success. He was appointed the chair of experimental physics in Graz and of theoretical physics at the University of Munich, so he certainly wasn't on the outside of the scientific establishment at the time and he had a number of supporters for his theory. The opposition certainly didn't help with his unhappy state of affairs at the end, though.

I'm not really arguing that the title is wrong, I just don't like calling the life of a man that accomplished so much tragic for my own reasons.

>> ^MycroftHomlz:
He met with some really heavy opposition during his time. And while I think he may have been bipolar, the vast majority of the scientific community outright rejected his theories. Certainly saying the equation killed him is a hyperbole, but his life was most definitely tragic. He believed without evidence in atoms came up with probabilistic theories that were seen as in direct opposition to Newtonian Mechanics. For most his life people rejected his theories... that wears on people.

used to drive one in the army. these were originaly made by austrian Steyr Puch factory near Graz. better than hummer, imo (although I didn't drive one yet). sure is better for the terrain we drove in, hummer's too wide for narrow forrest roads, needs too much fuel and pinzgauer climbs really well
