[26] In 1871, Ludwig Boltzmann generalized Maxwell's achievement and formulated the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution. The logarithmic connection between entropy and probability was also first stated by Boltzmann. At the beginning of the 20th century, atoms were considered by many physicists to be purely hypothetical constructs, rather than real ...
