Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906) was a brilliant Austrian physicist who laid the foundation of statistical mechanics. He explained how the microscopic motion of atoms and molecules determines macroscopic properties like temperature, pressure, and entropy. His famous equation S = K log W connected probability with thermodynamics and revolutionized modern physics. Today, the Boltzmann constant remains one of the most important constants in science, symbolizing his lasting impact on physics.
