• Resumen

  • The article focuses on the use of the kinetic theory of gases in modeling the 1939 blitzkrieg invasion of Poland by Germany. It states physicists Vladimir Aristov and Oleg Ilyin used historical military data of the invasion of Poland, replaced each unit with gas molecules in a kinetic theory mathematical model, and simulated the invasion. It comments on parallels between armies and gases, including cross-sections defining territorial coverage and confrontations when cross sections overlap.
