Paul Ehrenfest,carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933.
The chief architects of the bridge were Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann (1844 - 1906), James Clerk Maxwell(1831-1879), Josiah Willard Gibbs(1839-1903) and Albert Einstein(1879-1953). Statistical Mechanics makes an attempt to derive the macroscopic prop-erties of an object from the properties of its microscopic constituents and the interactions amongst ...
