Talk:Ludwig Boltzmann

message: Footnote 4 in the text should be about the H-theorem, but instead it links to [3] in the footnotes, which is about Claude Shannon.  There is also a footnote 3 in the text that appropriately links to [3].  The actual citation [4] in the footnotes appears to have no relevance.  Also, footnote 6 does not seem to appear anywhere in the text.Chymicus 00:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The box on the left-hand side of the article page has a caption for "notable students" of Boltzmann's...There are three listed - but Lise Meitner is left out. She is rather more famous than the other three - should she not be listed as well? Engr105th 07:21, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Lol! You are quite correct:)... Just noticed that the "notable students" list on the right is now "doctoral students" or some such. I can't recall if Meitner got her PhD under Boltzmann, but will try to find out...regardless, there was a strong connection between the two as Boltzmann taught most of Meitner's undergrad physics courses...Engr105th (talk) 23:31, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Notable Students" ? 

message: The sentence: "laly was appointed to the Chair of Theoretical Physics at the University of Munich in Bavaria, Germany in 1890."
doesn't look right to me. Maybe someone can see how to successflly improve it.

message: I'm thinking that the influence of Boltzmann's definition of entropy on Information Theory is important enough to mention in his biography. Comments? ThreePD (talk) 14:43, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need for section on Boltzmann's influence on Information Theory? 

message: I may be wrong but is it not true that he commited suicide because the physics community of the time would not believe the entropy equation and therefore this led to his death and the reason the equation is on his tombstone as a final act of stubboness?
:I believe it had a lot to do with the ridicule he suffered from his ignorant colleagues who rejected the existence of atoms and molecules. 
:It sure would be nice if the IUPAC named one of the heavier synthetic elements after him. 'Boltzmannium'? 'Boltzium' sounds better but I think it's supposed to contain his full last name, like Rutherford-ium or Einstein-ium. -71.187.107.84 (talk) 02:20, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Boltzmann's constant is ample honor.  It is one of the fundamental constants of Physics.  I use it almost daily.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.122.213.72 (talk) 21:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

* hung — past tense of hang as in Philip hung his coat, The entrance hall was hung with rich tapestries
* hanged — past tense of hang as in Corey hanged himself in his prison cell, He was hanged for murder.
