Jan 22, 2015 · Ludwig E. Boltzmann (1844–1906) was born in Vienna on February 20, 1844, the night between Fat Tuesday and Ash Wednesday; he used to say, jokingly, that was the origin of his changes of mood, which swung from moments of sheer enthusiasm to periods of severe depression and eventually led to his suicide in Duino (near Trieste).
