Imagine traveling back in time just to validate Ludwig Boltzmann's atomic theory! Poor guy spent his career defending the existence of atoms while his contemporaries mocked him mercilessly. His statistical mechanics model—now fundamental physics—was considered heretical nonsense in the 1800s. The ultimate scientific vindication that came too late—Boltzmann took his own life in 1906, just as atomic theory was gaining acceptance. Talk about the universe's cruel sense of timing! Next time your brilliant idea gets shot down, remember: you might just be a century ahead of your time.
