" "If this theory were to hold good for all phenomena, we should be still a long way off what Faust's famous famulus [Wagner] hoped to attain, viz., to know everything. But the difficulty of enumerating all the material points of the universe, and of determining the law of mutual force for each pair, would be only a quantitative one; nature would be a difficult problem, but not a mystery for the human mind.

Additional quotes by Ludwig Boltzmann
But how can the molecules of a behave as rigid bodies? Are they not composed of smaller atoms? Probably they are; but the of their internal s is transformed into progressive and rotatory motion so slowly, that when a gas is brought to a lower temperature the molecules may retain for days, or even for years, the higher vis viva of their internal vibrations corresponding to the original temperature. This transference of energy... takes place so slowly that it cannot be perceived amid the fluctuations of temperature of the surrounding bodies.
