It could be true. Proof by interpolation: It's no weirder than any of the other things.

I attended lectures by Friedrich Hund when I was a student. I never talked to him either because I'm stupid too. I was scared to death.

That is definitely true. The German physics literature from that time period is a gold mine. Very few articles were translated, such as those by Einstein and some of Schrödinger. Much of it has a style that is much more beautiful, direct, and concise compared to today's literature. 🧪

nor is it a struggle for energy, which is unfortunately contained in every body in the form of heat that cannot be converted, but rather a struggle for entropy, which becomes available through the transfer of energy from the hot sun to the cold earth.
