Reminds me of the opening paragraph from ‘States of Matter’:

Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.

That opening goes pretty fucking hard.

University Physics sucks but physical chemistry is all Boltzmann all the time and it's so awful
