Ludwig Boltzmann, founder of Statistical Mechanics, wrote a beautiful ode to New York:
'Whenever I enter New York Harbor I am seized by a kind of ecstasy.
The towering buildings and the Statue of Liberty with the torch held up high!
If I were a musician I would compose a symphony.'

Ludwig Boltzmann, who argued passionately for the existence of atoms, only to be challenged by Mach, Ostwald and other leading thinkers of his time, tragically took his own life 120 years ago today.
Ironically, atoms would soon be experimentally confirmed.
