Joke 物理学家中自杀的有做统计力学的Boltzmann 和Ehrenfest. 于是Caltech 的Goldstein 在上统计物理第一节课时说: Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Pual Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics…..
R.B.Tao’s lecture note
his statistical step as 1931, Planck referred to his statistical step as “an act of desperation… I had to obtain a positive result, under any circumstances and at whatever cost”.
光电效应的解释 （1905年） Einstein
1913, Planck, Nernst, Rubens, and Warburg proposed Einstein for Prussian Academy That he may sometimes have missed the target in his speculations, as for example, in his hypothesis of light quanta , cannot really be held too much against him, for it is not possible to introduce fundamentally new ideas, even in the most exact sciences, without occasionally taking a risk.
