The founders of the theory of thermodynamics in the 19th century did not find it easy to make themselves heard by the scientific community of the day, and it did not help that they did not grasp fully what they had found. They revolutionized everyday life by using energy and by creating methods for the production of fuel, and they rendered traditional philosophy redundant. Charles Sturt University (CSU) is hosting a visit to the Riverina, in regional NSW, by Professor Emeritus Ingo Muller of Technical University, Berlin, who will deliver a public lecture, The terroristic nimbus of entropy and other fanciful stories from the early history of thermodynamics. The lecture will be held on Monday 19 November at 5pm in building 11 - room 208. Professor Muller is a leading expert in thermodynamics and was the recipient of the Leibniz award of the German Science Foundation in 1988 and the International Award for Theoretical Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences of Turin, Italy, in 2006.
