Attractive Quote by Albert Einstein

One of the most beautiful hypotheses ever propounded in physics is ... the Dynamical Theory of Gases

— Simon Newcomb

“As we showed in figure 5, water molecules oscillate about their rest positions in ice. Quantum mechanics says that this remains true at absolute…

— Henning Genz

The floating vapour is just as true an illustration of the law of gravity as the falling avalanche.

— John Burroughs

So many of the properties of matter, especially when in the gaseous form, can be deduced from the hypothesis that their minute parts are…

— James Clerk Maxwell

“The hotter a substance, the faster and the less ordered its molecular motion, and the larger the momentum with which molecules collide. Above 0…

— Henning Genz

In thermodynamics as well as in other branches of molecular physics , the laws of phenomena have to a certain extent been anticipated, and…

— William John Macquorn Rankine

Bose-Einstein condensation is one of the most intriguing phenomena predicted by quantum statistical mechanics.

— Wolfgang Ketterle

“To date we know only two real media that offer almost no resistance to moving bodies. One such medium was discovered in the 1930s:…

— Henning Genz

“It is impossible to bring a substance down to a temperature of absolute zero; there cannot be a blackbody without radiation because absolute zero…

— Henning Genz

“In microscopic systems-such as in an atom, a molecule, a crystal-this minimal energy means internal motion of its constituents. It is independent even of…

— Henning Genz

Who ... is not familiar with Maxwell's memoirs on his dynamical theory of gases? ... from one side enter the equations of state; from…

— Ludwig Boltzmann

“As a gas of normal matter pulls together-or, rather, falls together-it transforms gravitational potential energy into thermal energy. In other words, it heats up.…
