The History of Probability and Laws
It wasn't until Boltzmann and Maxwell brought probability and laws together that they unified them. I'm not up enough on the history to really understand the context of what they had previously thought before they were faced with statistical mechanics, right? So I don't have an informed opinion about where they were going. If there's someone listening to your podcasts who takes me up on this, I think it's a great thing. And they could write in the introduction to their book that they heard about this doing this from me. Love that.
