Today I’m bringing out the Boltzmann. I’m not sure that anyone wants to study it, but if you have been required to study thermodynamics, then you’ve encountered Boltzmann [and Boltzmann’s constant] who is, literally, the Entropy Man. He and others of his time in this field were either geniuses or doing some seriously good drugs.
Probably my background has biased me, but statistical mechanics and thermodynamics are among the coolest things one can study in classical physics. They explain like 75% of all counterintuitive phenomena around us! 😃
Yeah, I don’t disagree. I think some of the core concepts in thermodynamics are, as you say, counterintuitive and this represents a high hurdle for some.
