Boltzmann & Meitner: From Entropy's Formula to Nuclear Fission|The Unsung Founders of Modern Physics

This video provides a dual-focused overview, exploring both the life and science of two major figures in physics: Ludwig Boltzmann and Lise Meitner. A substantial portion of the text is dedicated to explaining Boltzmann's fundamental equation, S = k log W, detailing the meaning of statistical entropy, the constant k, and its connection to information theory and gravity. Simultaneously, the sources trace Meitner's career, emphasizing her crucial and often unacknowledged role in the discovery of nuclear fission alongside Otto Hahn. The text highlights the injustices and antisemitism she endured, as well as her ethical refusal to participate in the Manhattan Project, concluding that despite the obstacles, she remained a physicist who never lost her humanity.
