@ MarkusDeserno: It is hard for me to adequately express how very beautiful I think this derivation is. Hendrik A. Lorentz called it a “a true pearl of physics” (“eine wahre Perle der Physik”). In fact, Lorentz was the first to add Boltzmann’s name to the Stefan-Boltzmann law. /29

@MarkusDeserno: It speaks to the true power of thermodynamics that it lets us discover and explain laws of nature without knowing details of their underlying “microscopic realization”. We don’t always need to know what’s going on “deep down”! /31
