In Vienna, Boltzmann taught physics and also lectured on philosophy. Boltzmann's lectures on [[natural philosophy]] were very popular and received considerable attention. His first lecture was an enormous success. Even though the largest lecture hall had been chosen for it, the people stood all the way down the staircase. Because of the great successes of Boltzmann's philosophical lectures, the Emperor invited him for a reception at the Palace.<ref>The Boltzmann Equation: Theory and Applications, E.G.D. Cohen, W.

Atomists could think the pictures were the real atoms while the anti-atomists could think of the pictures as representing a useful but unreal model, but this did not fully satisfy either group. Furthermore, Ostwald and many defenders of "pure thermodynamics" were trying hard to refute the kinetic theory of gases and statistical mechanics because of Boltzmann's assumptions about atoms and molecules and especially statistical interpretation of the [[second law of thermodynamics]].

Around the turn of the century, Boltzmann's science was being threatened by another philosophical objection. Some physicists, including Mach's student, [[Gustav Jaumann]], interpreted Hertz to mean that all electromagnetic behavior is continuous, as if there were no atoms and molecules, and likewise as if all physical behavior were ultimately electromagnetic. This movement around 1900 deeply depressed Boltzmann since it could mean the end of his kinetic theory and statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics.

在世纪之交,玻尔兹曼的理论受到了另一种哲学异议的威胁。一些物理学家,包括马赫的学生古斯塔夫·乔曼,把赫兹的理论解释为所有的电磁行为都是连续的,就好像没有原子和分子的存在,同样所有的物理行为最终都是电磁性质的。1900年左右的这一运动使玻尔兹曼深感沮丧,因为它可能意味着他的动力学理论和热力学第二定律的统计解释的终结。

After Mach's resignation in Vienna in 1901, Boltzmann returned there and decided to become a philosopher himself to refute philosophical objections to his physics, but he soon became discouraged again. In 1904 at a physics conference in St. Louis most physicists seemed to reject atoms and he was not even invited to the physics section. Rather, he was stuck in a section called "applied mathematics", he violently attacked philosophy, especially on allegedly Darwinian grounds but actually in terms of [[Lamarck]]'s theory of the inheritance of acquired characteristics that people inherited bad philosophy from the past and that it was hard for scientists to overcome such inheritance.

玻尔兹曼完成了证明热力学第二定律只是一个统计事实的壮举。能量的逐渐无序化类似于一叠最初有序排列的卡牌重复洗牌过程中变得无序,也正如经历了无数次洗牌而重归初始有序状态的卡牌一样,我们的宇宙最终将在某一时刻回到最初的状态。(当人们试图估计宇宙正在消亡的时间线时,这种乐观的结论就显得有些平淡了,因为时间线很可能在它自然发生之前就已经过去了。)熵增加的趋势似乎对初学热力学的人们造成困难,但从概率论的观点出发就很容易理解。考虑两个普通的骰子,都是正面朝上的。摇骰子后,发现这两个6面都朝上的概率很小(1 / 36);因此,我们可以说,骰子的随机运动,就像分子由于热能的混乱碰撞,会导致系统从概率较小的状态变为概率较大的状态。数以百万计的骰子,就像热力学计算中数以百万计的原子一样,它们全部为6的概率变得如此之小,以至于系统必须移动到一个更可能的状态。然而,数学上出现所有骰子结果都是6或者都不是6的几率都很小,由于统计数据会趋于平衡,每36对骰子会有一对6出现,而洗过的牌有时会呈现出某种临时的顺序,即使整个牌是无序的。
