Abstract Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann (1844–1906), the Austrian physicist whose greatest achievement was in the development of statistical mechanics, explains and predicts how the properties of atoms and molecules (microscopic properties) determine the phenomenological (macroscopic) properties of matter such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, and the diffusion coefficient.
