At Night (short story)

"At Night" (German: "Nachts") is a very short story by Franz Kafka written in his notebooks.[1]

As with many of the pieces in his notebooks, the tale is more of a segment than a story. The narrator reflects on the emptiness that can engulf one during nighttime. Yet, at the same time, where each person sleeps, there has been a rich history. Someone, the story says, must watch others at night, either for protection or posterity.

Gustav Janouch suggests that Kafka's tale was influenced both by his persistent insomnia and a desire to relate the potential dangers of people in society who are not watched when they should be.[2]

Maxwell–Jüttner distribution

In physics, the Maxwell–Jüttner distribution, sometimes called Jüttner–Synge distribution, is the distribution of speeds of particles in a hypothetical gas of relativistic particles. Similar to the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution, the Maxwell–Jüttner distribution considers a classical ideal gas where the particles are dilute and do not significantly interact with each other. The distinction from Maxwell–Boltzmann's case is that effects of special relativity are taken into account....
